jazz2 is a reverse engineering and decompilation project of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, the iconic 2D platformer developed by Epic MegaGames in the late 1990s. This ambitious project aims to recreate the original game from its binary form into readable and compilable C++ code. By doing so, it opens the door for native builds, modding, bug fixing, and potential enhancements beyond the limitations of the original closed-source game. The project is valuable for preservation, educational insight into retro game development, and community-driven improvements.
