@github.signals: Someone is rebuilding the World of Warcraft client from scratch in C++. WoWee runs the massive, complex game World of Warcraft on your own computer, but it ignores the official launcher entirely. Instead of relying on closed-source code, this project rewrites the entire client from scratch in C++, allowing it to talk directly to your game data. The coolest part? It builds its own graphics engine using modern Vulkan technology, meaning you can play classic expansions with crisp, modern visuals and smooth performance that the old client never offered. It is a fascinating look at how game engines actually work under the hood. If you are into open source development or just love the history of gaming, this project is a must-see.
