Heroes Of JinYong

About

The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes (金庸群侠传) is a DOS role-playing game that this project reimplements. Heroes Of JinYong is a from-scratch C++ reimplementation of the DOS RPG The Legend of Jin Yong Heroes, built with CMake for Windows and Linux. It requires the player's own copy of the original game's files, which a bundled data-preparation tool converts and merges into the format the reimplemented engine expects.

Getting started

Supply your own copy of the original DOS game's files, then build the project with its optional data tools enabled; a bundled converter processes those files — copying resources, merging map textures, and generating configuration — after which you copy the compiled program alongside the generated data and run it.

Additional notes

Documentation

The project documents its battle and AI formulas twice: once as a pure math specification, and separately as an implementation guide mapping those formulas to code locations and original memory addresses.
