Exult is a game engine for the classic RPG, Ultima 7, which allows the game to be played on modern operating systems. The game, originally released in the early 1990s, had a non-standard memory manager that made it difficult to run on modern computers. Exult aims to overcome this issue by using C++ programming language and the SDL library to create an engine that can run on various platforms like Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. | |||
