Decrypt key and signature
That's all I can really tell you from what you've posted. The original version without the Blowfish encryption is open source (eg. https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v4/cocos/scripting/lua-bindings/manual/CCLuaStack.cpp) , and I don't really understand how why you have so much symbol information available if what you're trying to disassemble isn't also probably open source

How does writing shader source code work for OpenGL ES?
As others have pointed out, the biggest difference you're seeing is likely due to the _version_ of OpenGL (and hence GLSL) version. That said, there are still important differences. I'd recommend looking at a comparison between the same shader in a project that supports both OpenGL & OpenGLES. For example, here's a shader from cocos2d-x https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/blob/v4/cocos/renderer/shaders/positionColor.vert. Note the only difference in this case is the additional precision qualifier (lowp) for v_fragmentColor. Note too how cocos uses preprocessor macros to handle this, so they don't have to maintain separate shader sources. Depending on your goals, you might be interested in tools like Nvidia cg or nvFX that allow for creating shaders in a dialect agnostic way, but ymmv.

Still have nothing to do with VS Code - WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT IN TERMS OF MAKING THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO MAKING AN RPG MAKER MV GAME, NOT JUST EDITING NORMAL TEXT!? + DOES USING VS CODE WITH BASIC THINGS IN GITHUB WORTH IT?
Speaking about markdown files on GitHub, I know that there are some repositories that have very stunning README markdown files, such as this one for Cocos2d-x, whcih includes images in conjunction with text. I might do the same for my repository as well. Considering VS Code have an extension for .md files, this might come in handy when I consider using VS Code to contribute to my game projects.

GitHub - ZeroIntensity/pointers.py: Bringing the hell of pointers to Python.
Note it's just using the ctypes ffi package which is in the CPython standard library itself anyway. You sure can fuck around and find out with that. But it's also kinda what it's there for - using ctypes is e.g. how things like the python SDL2 wrappers are implemented: https://github.com/py-sdl/py-sdl2

[2022 in RoguelikeDev] libtcod / python-tcod
Have you considered using some existing library as python wrapper for SDL like pySDL2? Might (or might not) be easier and faster than writing own implementation
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Cocos2d and py-sdl2 you can also consider the following projects:
Pygame - 🐍🎮 pygame (the library) is a Free and Open Source python programming language library for making multimedia applications like games built on top of the excellent SDL library. C, Python, Native, OpenGL.
Godot - Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
PyOpenGL - Repository for the PyOpenGL Project
Panda3D - Powerful, mature open-source cross-platform game engine for Python and C++, developed by Disney and CMU
