Nanolathe: Clean-Room Reverse Engineering, Explained
Nanolathe revives Total Annihilation without touching the original code, using clean-room reverse engineering to document its formats and rebuild the engine from scratch. The technique is the same legal defense Phoenix Technologies used for the IBM BIOS in 1984, and it still underpins projects like ReactOS today.
