About

The Emerald Source Code Commentary was written by 0xabad1dea (pronounced "a bad idea", she/her pronouns) based on the stellar decompiliation work of PRET. All credit for the enormous reverse engineering process belongs to them and I am only responsible for the explanatory prose.

The following people helped considerably:

Due to ongoing improvements in matters such as variable names and file structure, the current state of the PRET repository may not be identical to the code as quoted in the Commentary. However, since it is a round-trip decompiliation (that is, it recompiles to its exact original state), the code as a whole will always be functionally identical.
