Fountain of Dreams Reversing

Fountain of Dreams reverse engineering resources. Fountain of Dreams was a 16 bit DOS game released in 1990 by Electronic Arts.

Additional information: Wikipedia

The game executables (fod.exe) and (keh.exe) are packed using Microsoft EXEPACK and can be unpacked with the unEXEPACK project.

Progress

This repo can display the title screen (TPICT), handle character creation, and allows movement on the map.

Building

Install dependencies first:

VoidLinux

sudo xbps-install -S SDL2-devel

Debian

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev

Then use CMake to build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The fod binary will be in build/src/fe/fod

Other flags can be passed to CMake:

  • ENABLE_TESTS=ON/OFF toggles building unit tests (Requires Check). OFF by default.
  • ENABLE_TOOLS=ON/OFF toggles building some extra tools for extracting resources. OFF by default.

Code Quality

The code in this repo might not follow best practices at the moment. The intention is for the C code to match the disassembly closely. That means if the original disassembly allocated memory into global variables, the C code does this as well. Once most of the code is reverse engineered, we may start cleaning this up to follow best practices.

Please do not submit PRs to "clean up the code" until this notice is removed.
