IdaJS is a JavaScript scripting layer built on top of the community-maintained Little Big Adventure 2 (LBA2) engine sources. It enables creators to script gameplay, extend mechanics, and craft new stories and mods within the LBA2 world using a modern, high-level programming language.

This project is a combined work, based on the following repositories:
- Little Big Adventure 2 - Ida Edition - LBA2 engine source code, fork of the main LBA2 Classic Community, which has necessary bug fixes to be buildable and playable on Windows 10+ systems.
- If you do any general bug fixes to LBA2 engine or builds infrastructure in this repository, please consider contributing them back to the this repo.
- Ida Core - Core Ida engine source code, which provides V8 integration and base scripting API, which can be used as blueprint for other games as well.
- If you do any general improvements to the Ida core engine in this repository, porting back to the Ida Core is not mandatory, but can be desirable.
This project is developed and maintained in my free time.

Little Big Adventure 2 (aka Twinsen's Odyssey) is the sequel of Little Big Adventure (aka Relentless : Twinsen's Adventure) in 1997.
The LBA2 engine uses Assembly code and was originally compiled with non-open source libraries which have been excluded from the project.
The IdaJS engine was originally compiled with Google V8 libraries, that are open-source, but not GPLv2 compatible. Therefore V8 libraries have been excluded from the project.
