# jaigner-hub/ocarina-of-time-recomp

> Research project statically recompiling The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time into a native Windows program: the game's code is lifted to C, compiled for x86-64 and linked with a Vulkan host runtime.

- Magnitude: 3.1 out of 10 — Cooling

## Useful for

- Build oot.exe from your own game dump via tools/build_game.py
- Study the SM86-to-Maxwell shader lowering in runtime/sm86_lower.c
- Check repository content integrity with tools/check_content.py

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:03–02:10: 262 → 262 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +21 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 262 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 27
- Issues and pull requests: 16
- Watchers: 26
- Average over the last week: 57 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
