Gazillionaire: reconstructing the Steam AIR/Flex game

Gazillionaire reconstructs the Steam AIR/Flex release of the game from a user's installation. Scripts export the local game, prepare ActionScript source, build an AIR application and compare generated code with the original SWF. The repository also documents the game's architecture and code-generation experiments.
