A project that aims to castrate the original Happy99 virus and turn it into just a beautiful retro fireworks app.
Danooct1 made an video in 2011 demoing the original virus, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwpt0EyOSM0
Simply castrate the virus capabilities from the source code and recreate or recompile it into a retro fireworks application.
Why not? Knowledge is good.
The original readme.rtf is long lost, in the original folder you can find an PDF version of it and also the asm file containing the entire virus' (unaltered) source code. If you want the original unaltered compiled binary, google it (i know it's not exactly dangerous but i'm not distributing the executable of something classified as a virus).
PRs are open. Know asm? Wanna help? Have fun? Go wild at it.
Concluded. The fireworks remake was made in Processing which you can check on the processing-remake folder and run with the Processing IDE and compile into the modes available from it.
