Original task description:

Sfinx is a Polish game based on the CGE engine. The sources of the engine have been generously provided by his authors who found the sources in their archives and by the copyright owners (LK Avalon ). This engine is written in C and ASM and is an evolution of another game already supported by ScummVM, Soltys.

Here are some details concerning Sfinx: Sfinx.

The sources has been given under GPLv2, as well as the game data.

The important parts of this task would be to fix the extraction/compacting tools, to define how similar the engine is compared to CGE1, then to rework and refactor the sources heavily, and to integrate it into ScummVM as part of CGE or as a new engine. The use of ScummVM subsystems for graphics, audio, input, etc, will be mandatory, and it'll be required to follow our portability/style guidelines.

See OpenTasks/Engine/Sfinx for more details.

Original task description:

My project aims to provide two main advantages to the community: the optimization that this project will yield to the TinyGL runtime will allow more users to have access to the engine and it will also give a better user experience to all those people that are already making use of the software renderer by giving a more stable frame rate of execution.
