Forum Reactions

Users have expressed interest in contributing to ongoing game decompilation projects with a similar interface.

I’d love it if there was some way to contribute to ongoing game decompilation projects, with a similarly streamlined web interface – it’s something I’d be willing to dedicate some brain time to every so often, but setting up the toolchain etc. feels too much like work.

Some users have also shared their experiences with the platform, including finding ways to “cheat” on certain lessons.

I was able to ‘cheat’ on the second lesson with

    void identity(void) { return; }

The backend of Decomp Academy is closed source but runs on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway, and is written in Rust.
