The way it works basically goes like this: 1/ The playtester starts by reading the code to understand what its parent AI is asking it to play, and to decide what breakpoints, hooks and logging…

I (vibe-)coded a Python script based on the pefile library[2] to extract some info from the PE headers. Indeed, the PE file format contains a lot of metadata! They can be accessed using a lot of tools, like Detect It Easy:
