Logical Journey of the Zoombinis

The 1996 game, decompiled and rebuilt for the web

This is zbtools, a project to decompile the Windows release of Logical Journey of the Zoombinis back into C++, function by function, so that it builds and runs on modern systems. Here the decompiled game runs in your browser, compiled to WebAssembly on a small stand-in for Windows built on SDL.

It's a work in progress: the intro movie doesn't play yet, and you may meet bugs. Your progress is saved in this browser.

Heads up: pretty much all of the decompilation work was done by Claude, Anthropic's AI model. This port is also largely untested, so your experience may vary: expect glitches and bugs.
