Who needs Ghidra when you have autism and a box of markers?

@ask I worked on this over a period of two years as best as I can figure

@gloriouscow this is unbelievably crazy for a gamedev, what type of game even is this produced for?

[gloriouscow@oldbytes.space]

@taleb it's a point and click adventure game, very similar to LucasArts's SCUMM engine.

@gloriouscow read long enough, the listings let you write c-code translation ️

@gloriouscow I really love that you disassembled this in IDA, with all its interactive abilities for markup and analysis, in order to print it and go ham with the pencils!

Not snark, in case that's not obvious -- I genuinely do. I wish I still had the time to sit with things in this way and with this depth, though I never had your penmanship! And I have a lot of admiration for anyone with the short-term memory to be able to cohere a linear disassembly into a coherent picture

@gloriouscow Is that why I like my coloured pens?

@gloriouscow Whoa. How'd you manage to get a photograph of my middle school social life?!?

@gloriouscow this post is an absolute banger. brutal

@gloriouscow this whole thread hits solidly in my core-memories of programming in the 80s. Thanks! 🥰

@gloriouscow

Just so much respect and admiration over here.

[darthnull@infosec.exchange]

@gloriouscow Ah, memories.

[lopta@mastodon.social]

@gloriouscow Come to think of it, my daughter is particular about hers, too.
