WXX-Rebirth : a modern engine for Wipeout 3 Special Edition !
UPDATE 7/7/2017
Due to numerous reasons (mainly the sheer amount of work), the project in its current form is suspended,
As of today, WXX-Rebirth is becoming OpenWipeout, a library that will provide access to Wipeout 1, 2, 3 SE, 64 (and maybe Fusion) assets, more than 90% of the games assets have been reverse engineered, beside simulation algorithms. For the latter, as times passes the outcome dwindles, because it requires expertise in ASM, IDA, hacking and an indefinite amount of free time (which I don't have) ... but see below.
I have joined the BallisticNG team, in an endeavour to bring all these games to it, much of the WXX-Rebirth project work will be used, improved and enhanced so nothing was lost in the process, beside some deception (that's life !).
From now on, stay tuned on BNG channel comms @ Discord where I am now, or its dedicated thread here, to hear about the advancement.

Hi !!! After many hours, days and weeks of coding, I'm proud to announce the very first demo for the project. :P

DEMO NOTES
==========
As this is the very first release, there are still many many things missings.
You can access the 22 tracks and 8 ships that are in the original game.
Ship handling and collisions are still very primitive, as a result you will
probably have a hard time keeping ship on track : press Backspace to reset it.
See the options for changing track/ship and tweaking a few things.
Etc etc etc ... but expect a lot of improvements over the next weeks :)

That said, now I'm waiting for:
- your feedback

- etc etc etc ...
There isn't much for now you can do in it, as you'll see, but it's a start !
Expect many improvements over the next weeks :D
