An Open Source Client for World of Warcraft

• WhenWorld of Warcraftwas launched in 2004, it became somewhat of a juggernaut in the MMORPG space. • Millions of players continue to login every month. • [Kelsi Davis] is one such player, but she doesn’t always log in with the regular client anymore. • That’s because she put together WoWee-an open-source alternative of her very own. • WoWee is an acronym-World of Warcraft Engine Experiment. • Coded in native C++, it’s a homebrewed client that uses a custom OpenGL renderer to display the game world.
