A Python module to access Genie engine (Age of Empires etc) files.

• Install Python, construct and pyglet.
• Run python browse_slp.py path/to/your/AOE/directory
• This automatically loads graphics.drs.
• You can now enter ls to see all available files, play ID to play a WAV file, show ID to display a SLP file and, if you're feeling lucky, showanim ID to display an animated SLP file.

Kudos to the people who wrote documentation about the proprietary DRS and SLP formats and the Age of Empires SLP files:
