How about just decompiling the binary (i.e. the compiled ASM code) to the proper format?
if you know a way to do that and get readable, maintainable code at the end, do please let us know. That would be a seriously useful trick!

Wait. I thought we were talking about assembly language! :P
Ooh, snap. It *is* just about possible to write clear, maintainable assembler code, just like it is in theory possible to write a clear, intelligible tax code.

The main problem in my view with both systems: they predate garbage collection. If the tax codes ever threw anything out, we wouldn't be in this mess:)
Okay, just so I'm not burning all my bandwidth on snark here, is there a repo where I can look at all the code?
I'm more familiar with Intel syntax myself but I do enjoy a spot of assembler once in awhile. AT&T syntax is yucky and kind of scary, but it's just syntax and that's not too bad.
I have a Pi and I've been looking for some way to contribute around that. Maybe I can help with this and learn about the Pi's graphics facilities while I'm at it. That could be fun.
