　■i want to contribute to code but i cant find the main function
　│(´ー`)
　│
　└■run it in a debugger and single step through it
　　│failing that, edit every function (or at least, all the ones that seem 
　　│like they could be the main one) to output its name to the console and 
　　│see which one comes up first ( ´ω`)
　　│VERY brute force, but it should work
　　│
　　│failing that, ask the author lol ヽ(´∇`)ノ
　　│
　　├■Not him, but I don't understand debugging tools. They feel more 
　　│　difficult to figure out than the thing I'm trying to figure out most of 
　　│　the time (;ﾟ∇ﾟ)
　　│　
　　└■ok i lied, i meant to say i want to contribute to code but i don't have the skills to do so
　　　│i had once made a program that finds every line that contains "int main()" among all the files
　　　│of a directory only to realize that to understand what every class worked i had to trace back
　　　│a dozen header files (ρ_;)
　　　│
　　　└■things like that, you want to edit in something like Visual Studio Code
　　　　│you open the folder with the code in it and it'll try to resolve where
　　　　│each function is from so you can jump to it easily
　　　　│
　　　　│getting into a big existing project always sucks though and the only way
　　　　│to get better at it is to just keep trying to do it, even if you scrap
　　　　│everything or break something or whatever
　　　　│
　　　　│my personal projects are all like 1 or 2 source files, I hate splitting
　　　　│shit up ┐(´ω` )┌
　　　　│
　　　　└■tracking them down isn't too hard, what is annoying is when there's a gazillion objects
　　　　　　or structs or whatever that contain each other, i quickly find myself overwhelmed and can't see
　　　　　　what does what anymore ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
