There seems to be some comments in the C files in Japanese. I've tried translating some of them with Googlefish and couldn't really come up with anything coherent. LiquidManZero 03:31, 16 April 2012 (EDT)

Are you sure it's not just an encoding error? Try to posting the comments here and I'll translate them for you. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 09:34, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
There's a whole lot of comments (in Shift-JIS btw) in those source files. Pretty much every function is preceded by a short description and has some comments inside, structs in ex. prime4.c have most of their variables marked with their purpose, bds_lib.c's initBDS is well-commented, too... and looking through those files, it almost looks like this is the whole source code for the game excluding the header files and any assets and such. --Xdaniel 14:02, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
Yeah, ".c" files are source code. Based on the programming language, commenting is easily found. For example, SourcePawn (for SourceMod plugins for games like Portal/TF2) have two significant ways to comment out things. You can use "//" for a single commented out line" or "/*" and "*/" to comment out huge chunks of code. I'm not familiar with ".c" files, but I'd love to check out the code. Guaranteed those commented out lines after code are just brief comments about what the code does. I used "//" commenting in the source code of plugins I wrote for TF2 to leave brief comments about what the code function was, just so I wouldn't forget. 404 User Not Found 15:59, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
