Case study

Rerun: rebuilding the Sonic Runners server

Rerun rebuilds the Sonic Runners server in C# and ASP.NET Core using earlier research and the Outrun server as a basis. Its source includes login, game, store, leaderboard, and player controllers, while the author says the emulator cannot yet reach the game's main menu and its database setup remains incomplete.
