- The purple theme was a conscious choice, not an AI's decision. I wanted to match the colour theme of the GameCube. You can see the current colour pallete here: https://decomp-academy.dev/brand/brand-sheet this will likely go through changes in the near future but I'd like to stick to the purple theme as a nod to the GameCube

- I've just added some new lessons before the first lesson to explain assembly syntax!

- I believe there are around 200-odd instructions, and a lot of them I'm not sure you'll ever see, but I can certainly look at adding something like this

Ouch, now I feel like a real asshole; I was reminded off all those purple gradient slop websites. Yeah, your reasoning makes perfect sense. I completely forgot about Nintendo's weird purple phase (GBC, GBA and GC all had purple as their main brand color) because I had a silver GameCube.

You're not completely wrong, AI does usually have a weird proclivity for blue/purples lol

Thanks, I just read them and they are well-done.
