I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I’m wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can’t take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?

    Trick question: it can be,that’s what a decompiler does. The problem is that a lot of information is lost in compiling source code, such as names and the exact implementation of loops.
