SourceRewrite is a semi-rewrite of Valve's 'Source Engine' in C#. It was designed to have the same workflow and structure as Source whilst drastically changing certain parts.
- Web-Based VGui replacement: 'Vista GUI'
- Native C# Valve Format reading/writing
- Steam Game Mounting
- C# Entity API
- Extensive code/content modding system
- VPhysics Replacement via Bullet Physics
- Real-time Lighting
- Custom GLSL Preprocessor for simple Shader manipulation
- Source Engine's Input, Entity, Map IO, and File Systems all faithfully recreated in C#
You can find Documentation for using the engine here. SourceRewrite was developed alongside an unreleased Portal 2 Mod and was primarily designed to be compatible with the Portal 2/ASW Engine Branches, other compatiblity is not guaranteed.
