If you were around in the mid-'90s, you might vaguely remember a trend of flashy neon-lit racing games which was introduced in part by the classic PlayStation 1 game Wipeout (as well as F-Zero). Now, it seems that the influential game archival group Forest of Illusion has obtained the source code to the game and its Windows port, and they've released it online.
The group released the source code on Twitter, with the caveat that they aren't sure if the game will be "buildable" from this code. If this is all Greek to you, source code is the human-readable code of a program that is fed into a compiler in order to translate that into code the computer can actually run. The source code is a bit like the script of a play, and the compiler is the part that lets the actors learn their lines, stage directions, etc...
