Port replay saving support.

See procedure findreplays at SJ3REPL.PAS.

Fix arithmetic/buffer overflows. These exist in original code and aren't visible for user in tested release builds, hence "improvement". Compile in debug mode to enable runtime checks.

Scandic letters are not working as a jumper name, replay name, etc.

Document functional changes in ported version to README.

• New features (window options)
• Bugs fixed
• ...?

Add SP version number to UI where applicable. Do not break compatibility of anything which might be versioned (hills, records?).

Hello!

I have a problem with the game that has appeared since the first version that came out, SP1. The problem is that when I want to start the game via SJ3.exe, a white window appears for a split second and the game switches off after a while.

Out of curiosity I tried to fire the game via the command line. Here is what the error message showed up;

Is it possible to find out what may cause this error? I will point out that it is trying to start the game on Windows 10.

Greetings!

I've managed to successfully build SJ3 for Mac, for both x8664 and arm64.

Requirements:

• homebrew

Steps

# Install compiler and SDL2
$ brew install fpc sdl2

# Clone Pascal SDL2 headers
$ git clone https://github.com/ev1313/Pascal-SDL-2-Headers

# Compile
$ fpc -Mtp -k-L{path homebrew installed library to, depends on your setup} -k-lSDL2 -k-framework -kOpenGL -k-framework -kCocoa  -Fu./Pascal-SDL-2-Headers/ SJ3.PAS

Since all the tooling works already with Apple Sillicon (sdl2 for arm64 is already available in homebrew and fpc can be easily built)
it's also quite straightforward to build Apple Sillicon version.

I've bundled an universal app with SDL dylib included and here's the DMG available for download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfpdeu2m8a7tg8e/SJ3.dmg?dl=0.
You can add it as a Release if interested.

I don't have have an Apple Developer account so it's unsigned and not notarised so one have to go Settings -> Security&Privacy to accept Gatekeeper exception upon first launch. Except that, it just works :)

In case somebody would like to add hills or modify names files etc. you have to open an app bundle by clicking Show Package Contents in context menu (option-click on the app) and going into Contents/Resources.

Port support for extra hills by searching files from game directory.

See procedure CheckExtraHills at SJ3UNIT.PAS and procedure FindCustoms at SJ3INFO.PAS.

Travis CI integration with Linux build.

Remove unnecessary files like deprecated build scripts.

Structure files, both in repository and binary release.

Example of possible structure

• SRC folder for Pascal files
• IMG folder for PCX files
  • Also read PCX files from root as custom hills can be pasted there
• REPLAYS folder for SJR files (optional)
  • Also read SJR files from root as external replays can be pasted there
