Layer 2
Merging
Two games become one
Both games run at once, linked together
Or one game’s moves rebuilt inside the other

Full decompile
Start with only the finished game
End with code that builds the same game
Names and comments are gone for good
Port it, fix it, change anything
// the original
int score() {
return 2 + 3;
}// decompiled
int f_4a1() {
return 5;
}Different code, same game
