What I'd do for a Wipeout Omega Collection PC port...

This is super cool, though

- It's not Wipeout, but BallisticNG might still be interesting for you.

  Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!

  I've been aware of it for a while but never got around to playing it, thanks for the reminder!

- How do you actually play it without smashing into the walls?

  You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners

What the tech for running it in browser? WebAssembly? On mobile so couldn't inspect the website . (Also kinda lazy)

- It is indeed Wasm, it's become the standard for games on the browser unless the game is made in javascript (which would run poorly)
  
  8
- If it is in rust, then probably yes

  It's good old C.

I whish games would recognize that some lanugages keyboards have the Y and Z keys swapped.

- I wish some languages would realize their keyboards are wrong
  
  3
- Or that some people use non-"standard" layouts like Dvorak and Colemak. It's not hard to just use the key code instead of relying on the key label.

This brings back some memories

All I saw was ads. Could you link the port directly?
