wipEout Rewrite

wipEout Rewrite is a reverse-engineering and reimplementation project focused on recreating the original Wipeout game engine in modern portable C code. The project aims to preserve and modernize the classic futuristic racing game by rebuilding its engine architecture while improving compatibility with contemporary hardware and operating systems. It includes systems for rendering, physics, input handling, audio, and gameplay logic while remaining faithful to the original PlayStation-era experience. The rewrite approach enables developers to study, modify, and extend the game more easily than with proprietary binaries or emulation-based approaches. The project also contributes to digital preservation efforts by documenting and reconstructing historically significant game technology. Overall, wipeout-rewrite represents both a technical preservation initiative and a platform for experimentation with classic game engine architecture.
