The open source Zircon engine ("DarkPlaces Mark V Project") is a modification DarkPlaces engine with a mouse driven menu everywhere, ALT-ENTER fullscreen/windowed switching and 88 other enhancements to support user/mapper/mod coder ease-of-use and optional conveniences for those interested in a "1996 Quake" experience. "csqc_full_width_height 1" in console when running Arcane Dimensions at this time It is hoped that some/many/all of these enhancements will eventually make it into official DarkPlaces. The Zircon engine seeks to keep full compatibility with DarkPlaces so either engine can be used interchangeably.
Description
Improvements to Load Game/Save Game menu. Improvements to Linux including Linux Window now has an icon.

Why so much smaller?
Good eye on noticing!
No SDK folder in the source code. The SDK folder includes a ton of .lib and .dlls for SDL2, those can be downloaded separately from the SDL2 web site and few engines include that in their source code.
I still plan to include the SDK folder in most of them, but not all of them.
