What This Repo Is

Wowee is a native C++ World of Warcraft client experiment focused on connecting to real emulator servers (online/multiplayer) with a custom renderer and asset pipeline.

Current Code State

Implemented (working in normal development use):

• Auth flow: SRP6a auth + realm list + world connect with header encryption
• Rendering: terrain, WMO/M2 rendering, water, sky system, particles, minimap/world map, loading video playback
• Core gameplay plumbing: movement, targeting, action bar basics, inventory/equipment visuals, chat (tabs/channels, emotes, item links)
• Multi-expansion direction: Classic/TBC/WotLK protocol variance handling exists and is being extended (src/game/packet_parsers_classic.cpp, src/game/packet_parsers_tbc.cpp)

In progress / incomplete (known gaps):

• Quests: some quest UI/markers exist, but parts of quest log parsing are still TODOs
• Transports: functional support exists, but some spline parsing/edge cases are still TODOs
• Audio: broad coverage for events/music/UI exists, but 3D positional audio is not implemented yet
• Warden: crypto + module plumbing are in place; full module execution and server-specific compatibility are still in progress

Near-Term Direction

• Keep tightening packet parsing across server variants (especially Classic/Turtle and TBC)
• Keep improving visual correctness for characters/equipment and M2/WMO edge cases
• Progress Warden module execution path (emulation via Unicorn when available)

Where To Look

• Entry point: src/main.cpp, src/core/application.cpp
• Networking/auth: src/auth/, src/network/, src/game/game_handler.cpp
• Rendering: src/rendering/
• Assets/extraction: extract_assets.sh, tools/asset_extract/, src/pipeline/asset_manager.cpp
