README

          
This repository contains all my work on reverse engineering the [Chicken Invaders](https://www.interactionstudios.com/chickeninvaders.php) game.

-   [assets.json](assets.json) - list of the game assets extracted from `ChickenInvaders.dat`

-   [unpack.py](unpack.py) - python script to list and extract the game assets

-   [patch.py](patch.py) - apply various patches to the game executable, available patches are:

    - windowed mode: force the game to run in windowed mode (prevents lags)

    - restore window style: set the window style to an overlapped window (what you would expect from a standard windowed window)

If you are using the patched executable, make sure to enable "Reduced color mode" and select "16-bit (65536) color" in the executable's compatibility tab.

You can also check the cheat I made for this game: [Omelette](https://github.com/LockBlock-dev/omelette).
