I'd love it if there was some way to contribute to ongoing game decompilation projects, with a similarly streamlined web interface - it's something I'd be willing to dedicate some brain time to every so often, but setting up the toolchain etc. feels too much like work.

By the way, I was able to "cheat" on the second lesson with

    void identity(void) { return; }

I gave up at https://decomp-academy.dev/lesson/workflow-what-matching-mea... when I was presented with a wall of LLM-flavoured text

That's what decomp.me is for, when I'm stuck on a function in my own projects I usually set it up on there and link it in the codebase so anyone can pick it up. Sometimes I like to browse the front page and hope I know enough to silently match somebody else's function (usually stays as a hope though...)

decomp.me is also a great tool! The playground section of the site allows you to turn the code into a decomp.me scratch. I also use the objdiff wasm on the frontend for the assembly diffing. I don't see much point in reinventing the wheel and these tools are already great, so I'll deffo be leaning on them when I can

I was thinking of something similar as well, perhaps a section of this site after you've completed the course where we show functions from popular decomp projects that aren't 100% matched, and you can match it. Doing so will magic up a PR or something.. It's a great idea!

As for cheating, the community calls this a fake match. I don't check that the code you submit conforms to what I expect, I only check if the assembly matches. You can do interesting things where you do a series of bit shifts and bit masks, and you can replicate an equality operator `a == b` or a low clamp `x < 0 ? 0 : x`. I'm not sure if I'll lock this down or not, for people who have accounts, I can see their submissions so I think I'll play it by ear and see what happens. If it looks like people are constantly fake matching, I can look at tweaking the lessons or locking it down more
