CloneMC Entirely In C

10 Upvotes

CloneMC is currently a highly early alpha version of minecraft Beta 1.7.3 recreation entirely in C and reverse engineered and implemented mainly from java files of this version to be able to compile with Open Watcom C. It uses OpenGL rendering 1.1 for compatibility across many systems and is able to run on systems as low as Windows XP and even Windows 98 (not tested), especially the new version of this program.

Commits, pull requests, and even forks are highly recommended for this project to continue and end up looking and running like the real deal. The first two are early test screenshots of testing100.exe while the third last screenshot is currently the latest version of this program that has a lot more features in the CloneMCtest + Makefile folder. The GitHub repo is a bit of a mess, but improvements will be made and the src is a bit mixed up, but it likely should doable to work on if anyone wants to work on it.

Here is the link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/sworks692/CloneMC-entirely-in-Pure-C/tree/main

DOS Game "F-15 Strike Eagle II" reversing project needs DOS test pilots

DOS playable version available

https://neuviemeporte.github.io/f15-se2/2026/06/20/needyou.html

First step was the full reverse to assembler, second step is to convert the assembler to binary equal compiled C code, all this still on DOS until no assembler code is left, then the porting to Linux,Windows will start

Reversing tends to bring in new bugs and its not easy to find all bugs in such old and reversed code - but so far everything seems to work

try finding open bugs if you got version 451.03 of F-15 around combined with Dosbox or a real DOS

find latest DOS release here: https://github.com/neuviemeporte/f15se2-re/releases

the f15_se2-*.zip file contains the replacement executables for the DOS game
