A native, from-scratch recreation of Williams’ Sinistar in C++ and SDL2. A recreation, not an emulator. ROM-accurate AI, extracted sprites, all eight digitized speech phrases, including the one everybody remembers, and the original sixteen-color palette. The reverse-engineering notes ship in the repo.
