Reverse Engineering Large Software Projects?

Posted by Cliff on from the where-would-you-start dept.

stalebread queries: "Me and a team of other students have been tasked with reverse engineering a massive C/C++ (mostly C) computer game of about half a million lines. We have most of the source, but no clue of how to approach a task of this magnitude. Anyone have suggestions of programs, or techniques we could use to understand the structure of the game?"

    • Worried about confusing listeners by switching between personal pronouns?
    • Think noun-verb agreement is innefficient and redundant?

    It was easy to tell you are a student. Starting off a sentence with "Me and"? What if it was just you? Would you say "Me have been tasked"? What are you, freaking Cookie Monster?

    The state of education for all of our youth is simply astonishing.
