## Overview

spice2x is a fork of SpiceTools, focused on addressing bugs, usability, and quality-of-life improvements.

We do not use GitHub for source control, but we do use the [issue tracker](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/issues) and [the wiki](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki). Source is distributed in the release package.

spice2x team does not provide any tools to circumvent software copy protection, nor distribute any copyright-protected game data.

## Submitting to the Issue Tracker
Rules for filing a new issue or adding comments to existing issues in the tracker:

* Check the [known issues](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Known-issues) page first before reporting a new issue.
* Use the search function and see if there is an existing issue. 
* This is not the place to ask about other projects, especially EA servers. Bad servers can (and will) crash your game.
* **Do not link to external websites that distribute game data!**

New GitHub accounts are prevented from creating new issues to prevent spam.

Maintainers of this project reserve the right to close or delete any low effort issues.

## Contributing
**We encourage the community to submit patches via the issue tracker for any bug fixes or feature enhancements.** If you want to resolve any reported (or not reported) bugs, implement features, add support for new games, or fix a [known issue](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Known-issues) - feel free to reach out via the Issue tracker.

Baseline rules for adding support for games:

* No BomberGirl, as long as the Free To Play service is still alive.
* No support for that one touch screen game that dispenses plushies of mouse character (`O26`).
* No support for eaCloud ("Konasute") games.
* For a new game that was never supported (not a new version of a game, but rather a new series): please wait 1 year after official AC release in Japan.
* For new version of an already supported game: proceed with caution and use generally-accepted community guidelines.
* Make sure you compile with the included Docker script and ensure you do not introduce any new compiler warnings or build breaks; otherwise, your patch will not be accepted. The Docker script is the standard build environment, your custom Linux build environment or MSVC can be used for development but you must validate the final build using Docker.
