Show HN: Decomp Academy – Learn to decompile GameCube games into matching C
What happened
Over the past few months I've been heavily involved in the decompilation community. I've been hands-on decompiling a beloved game from my childhood (Star Fox Adventures).
The consequence
I started this journey with zero prior decomp experience—and to make things worse I had never really touched C nor assembly either. It's difficult to find any good learning resources for it and any open-source projects for this are inactive and/or contain little actual learning material.
The landscape
Decomp Academy is an interactive way to learn how to decompile PowerPC assembly back into C

The framing
Decomp Academy is an interactive way to learn how to decompile PowerPC assembly back into C. If even 1 instruction or bit is off, that's a fail.
