Elite was a 3D open universe game first released in 1984 by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro. Written only in 6502 microprocessor Assembly with intense care for efficiency and memory, it was fresh and innovative for its time.

This project aims to revive the legendary game from scratch for easy execution on modern computers. Great care is being maintained to make this project compatible across Windows, MacOS and Linux (x86_64 for now). This project aims to be developed in C11 and uses SDL3 as the graphics library.
