rr-pc-port: reconstructing a playable Ridge Racer race on PC

rr-pc-port reconstructs a playable PC race slice of the 1994 PlayStation Ridge Racer by re-expressing game logic in portable C. It ports selected functions and fixed-point driving behavior, reads course and resource data from the user's local game files, and renders through an optional SDL2 host. Its roadmap separates confirmed behavior from documented approximations.
