## What it is
A C re-implementation of the 1995 PlayStation racing game wipEout, playable in the browser via Emscripten or as a native desktop build. It supports SDL2 and Sokol platform backends with OpenGL rendering.

## Use cases
- play wipEout on modern desktops
- run wipEout in a web browser
- study how to rewrite a classic PSX game in C
- port a retro game to SDL2 or Sokol
- build a PSX-era racing game from source

## When to choose
- you want to play or extend a faithful wipEout re-implementation
- you need a browser-playable version via WASM
- you want a C codebase example of game porting with SDL2/Sokol

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, bug-free finished game - it is a work in progress
- you want a modern original racing game rather than a remake
- you need gamepad support on the Sokol backend, which lacks controller support
