dankvr · x · 2026-08-08

Developer @yacineMTB demonstrated an impressive reverse engineering feat: using a DeepSeek model to decompile and reverse engineer Super Smash Bros. Melee into approximately 5,000 lines of C code.

Even more remarkably, the entire process was accomplished entirely on a smartphone. The developer managed this complex engineering task by interacting with the model via his phone while taking care of his newborn.
