# Splatoon: a Wii U C++ reconstruction workspace

> Reconstructs C++ components of the Wii U game Splatoon from its Gambit.rpx executable. The workflow verifies a user dump, extracts strings and RTTI, uses Ghidra for static analysis, and configures objdiff for function comparison; the tree includes game and library source files.
