Read, analyze/parse and display/browse data from files in 1992's computer game Die Schicksalsklinge (Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny).
Currently, a lot of the contents of SCHICK.DAT and SCHICKM.EXE are supported.
The data segment in SCHICKM.EXE is parsed using the file symbols.h from the
Bright-Eyes project.
This software is made for Linux systems, but it should also run on other
operating systems, as long as Python 3.5 or newer (with tkinter, numpy and pillow) is
installed. On Debian 12, for example, it suffices to install the packages python3,
python3-tk, python3-numpy, python3-pillow and python3-pil.imagetk.
It requires the files SCHICK.DAT, SCHICKM.EXE as well as symbols.h from the
Bright-Eyes project. Place these files in the same directory as schick-gui.py
before you start it (however, on Linux, a soft link is sufficient).
On Linux systems, schick-data-gui.py can be run from the command line. For other
operating systems this might or might not work.
