not trying to be negative, friend. I think clearly the author of this put a ton of effort into this project to make it functional, and I am acknowledging that. But, there are no disclosures about this anywhere from the author when so much of the work has been done by AI. I find this especially concerning when you realize the author is soliciting money for this project on X and other places.

Author claims this was made in 5 days on twitter. Nobody knew about this project until they released it and their inital commit contains 200,000 lines of code. Curious

So. this code was most likely generated with AI trained on community decompilation efforts, possibly without their knowledge. I know that the community has not yet reverse engineered custom model skinning for the game, so it does not appear here because it wasn't in the training data. Why would somebody who has supposedly already implemented billboard object support, or as the code calls it "flipbook objects", couldn't just stick a similar animated billboard texture inside the ball? probably because they have no clue how the code actually works or is structured.

It's genuinely impressive that generative AI has advanced to the point where this was possible, but it also feels like this was built backwards, extremely niche mechanics in the game are rendered nearly perfectly, where the base elements of the game had this been built from the ground up are implented wrongly or completely absent.
