This reminds me of a software engineering project in college where we had to re-write an old DOS game called Chopper Commando (https://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Chopper_Commando.html https://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Chopper_Commando.html) given the Turbo Pascal source code, which was used as an example of terrible code that works just fine, and required to establish a cleaner architecture that manages to achieve feature parity with the original. We all talked shit about how bad that code was (like we were some experts or something...). People who want to talk shit will talk shit. People who don't know what they don't know will talk shit. Do what you want to do.
