Fun

# How?
Godot 3.6, extracting resources from original or RPGe-translated SNES ROM.

# How much?
Following systems are ordered by vague overarching priority:

## Save/Load System
I know I called this an "Interactive Save Editor" but I haven't started that yet.
- [ ] SNES Support
- [ ] PSX Support (should be identical to SNES with different offset)
- [ ] GBA Support (note, does not imply full asset ripping)
- [ ] Steam Pixel Remaster Support (I haven't bought this yet so low prio) (note, does not imply full asset ripping)

## Menu System
I have mostly solved parsing of SNES menus in a sister project, however there are so few of them that hardcoding better behaviour would be nicer anyway.
- [ ] Main Menu and Load/New Game
- [ ] Party Menu and submenus
- [ ] Shops

## Map Field System
- [ ] Character sprites (solved problem, soon™)
- [ ] NPC sprites (solved problem, soon™)

### World Maps (Fields?)
- [x] Tiles
- [ ] Tilemaps (solved problem, soon™)
- [ ] Dynamic changes (e.g. meteors, breaking seals, sinking island, pirate cave, voids) (might hardcode these later)

- [ ] Mode 7 Effects (...might hardcode these later)
### Dungeon/Town/Zone Maps (idk what accepted terminology is)
- [ ] Tiles (solved problem, soon™)
- [ ] Tilemaps (solved problem, soon™)
- [ ] Layer Effects and animated tiles (needs research, including water)
- [ ] Pathing (I have vague recollections about this)

## Battle System

- [ ] Enemy sprites (solved problem, soon™)

## Script System
This will be an interpreter, I am not hardcoding the thousands of scripts.
- [ ] Parser
