Remake of the classic Amiga game Legion, based on the official AMOS source code provided by authors.
Original source code location: /data/amos/leg31.Asc
Completely rewrite game using modern, widely used and popular object oriented language (C#), for better maintainability and easier future extension. Code is written from scratch, but directly based on original AMOS source code and original logic.
First step is to create mostly the same functionality as in original game. If some small improvements can be made at this step they will be also included. Bigger improvements and new ideas can be made in next steps.
MonoGame on .Net Core. I'm currently using VS Code on Linux to write code.
NOTE: currently only 64 bit versions of Linux and Windows are supported, 32 bit versions can be added by modyfing Legion.csproj file to recognize bitness and choose 32bit versions of SDL.dll (they are already available in theirs folders under lib directory). OSX should be also supported but it was not tested.

Game should be easy to localize, please take a look to /data/texts folder, there are JSON files for every supported language (currently Polish and English).
- cloning items when putting them on the ground and loading game after that (items on the ground will stay on the same place)
- characters path finding is poor
