Whoa is an unofficial open source implementation of the [[WoW:3.3.5a|World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (build 12340) game client]] in C++11. It is the ancestor of [[Thunderbrew]].

It was created to better understand the systems that underpin WoW, in order to allow development on Wowser to continue.

Whoa is very much a work-in-progress: it does not fully connect to a realm server, does not play back sound or music, and does not support customizing settings. These things will be supported over time.

== Running ==

Whoa doesn't currently support reading from MPQ archives. Instead, it assumes you are launching the Whoa executable from the root of a fully extracted MPQ archive set for World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (build 12340). You can obtain a valid set of MPQ archives to extract by installing World of Warcraft 3.3.5a from legally purchased original install media. Whoa does not provide any copy of game data.

Assuming all goes well, you should be greeted by the login screen, complete with its flying dragon animation loop.
