Title: My Awesome Idea
Post by: Linkizcool on October 14, 2005, 05:39:20 PM

Is it possible to take a Ruby decompiler and decompile every one of your RM2K files and then edit ehm using a Ruby IDE and recompile them?

It's impossible, simply because Ruby isn't even a compiled language, it's interpreted.

What about using a different language decompiler?

Well...there are a few problems with decompiling programming languages.

Firstly, you don't even know what compiler was used, and since each compiler has a different way of compiling a language there's always a chance that the decompiler won't work.

Secondly, we don't know what language was used.

And even if you'd manage to decompile it, and we'd be left with C and Assembly, we can't even automatically change it into ruby. We'd need a scripter to "translate" it.
