<!-- This page contains a list of substantial open tasks from throughout the project. Completing any of them would be of great benefit to the ScummVM project.  
 
In theory, all of these tasks should be doable even by somebody relatively new to the project, in particular, as part of a Google [[Summer of Code]] project.
 
It should be noted however that while we suggest that potential GSoC students looks at these tasks they are in no way exclusive to GSoC. Anyone is very welcome to work on any task (or any aspect of it).
 
Besides the tasks collected here, there are of course also the [[TODO]] pages listing more things that need to be done (but with far less details).

But of course like with all the other tasks, we recommend that you first talk to us (see above).-->
 
== Generic infrastructure tasks ==
 
=== Add possibility for compiling externally to ScummVM tree ===
 
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]], [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]]
 
''Background:''
 
OSystem (ScummVM core) turned into nice portable infrastructure for creating graphics-related applications. We already have our own full blown GUI and couple of dozens of engines built on top of it.
 
''The Task:''
 
Modify ScummVM build system to add ability to build engines ourside of the main source tree. It may require turning ScummVM OSystem into a library.
 
''Required Skills:''
 
* Good C++ skills.
* Excellent Makefile skills
 
 
=== Implemented support for loadable modules on Nintendo DS and other ports ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
 
''Background:''
 
TODO engines take up lots of storage space and RAM. Putting them into lodable modules reduces memory usage, as only needed module needs to be loaded. For DS port, this is is esp. nice, because it right now has to be shipped in multiple versions, combining different sets of engines. Ugly.
 
''The Task:''
 
TODO Implement infrastructure that allows generating loadable modules for the Nintendo DS, and code which then allows to (un)load these during runtime. For our Dreamcast code, we already have code doing that, which  could be used as a reference, and maybe even some of its code could be reduced. Ultimately, the goal would be to not just target the Nintendo DS, but all target platforms which use the ELF binary format and an ARM processor. Bonus: Support for MIPS processors to cover Playstation 2 / PSP ports.
 
TODO: Add reference to the DS build chain, DevKitPro, etc.
 
''Required Skills:''
 
* Good C++ skills.
* Some knowledge of the ELF binary format (great documentation is available on the net, start e.g. at Wikipedia).
* A Nintendo DS for testing would be ideal.
 
=== Small Devices Backend ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:DJWillis|John Willis]], [[User:JoostP|Joost Peters]]
 
''Background:''
 
ScummVM has been ported to many platforms, often by simply re-using the SDL backend (which is based on [http://www.libsdl.org SDL], which by itself has been ported to many platforms, making it fairly easy to port ScummVM to any of these platforms).
 
But for some [[Platforms|platforms]], dedicated backends are required, either because SDL doesn't support them, or because we can't achieve all our needs by using the SDL port (e.g. because we need more speed, more control, etc.). These backends are typically made for what we call "small systems" -- systems like PDAs, SmartPhones, Linux Tablets ([[PalmOS]], [[SymbianOS]], [[Windows_CE|Windows CE]], [[Maemo]]), or game consoles ([[Dreamcast]], [[GP2X]], [[Nintendo_DS|Nintendo DS]], [[PlayStation_2|PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation_Portable|PlayStation Portable]]).
 
These systems share many features. In particular they often have no (full) keyboard and quite limited resources: Little RAM, little permanent storage space, not that much CPU power, or a limited screen resolution.
 
This makes it often necessary to (re)implement certain functionality, like virtual keyboards (see above task), or graphic downscalers and the like.
 
''The Task:''
 
Since the same needs occur again and again, it would be nice to implement such functionality only once in a sufficiently portable and flexible way, making it possible for backends to pick and use whatever they need.
 
Details, scope and further suggestions as to how to achieve this can be found on the [[Small Devices Backend]] page.
 
Besides this, optimizing code for speed and memory usage benefits all our targets. In particular these "small devices". Hence doing this is a worthy goal on its own.
 
''Required Skills:''
 
* Reasonable C++ skills.
* Refactoring skills.
* Knowledge of one or more ScummVM platform backends is desirable.
 
=== Improve the overlay API ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
 
''Background:''
 
ScummVM is a highly portable application, running on a multitude of devices, ranging from desktop PCs running Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and other systems, over game consoles like the PlayStation or the Nintendo DS, down to small mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones running PalmOS, WinCE or Symbian. One key component which makes this possible is our relatively strict separation between "backend code" (which implements the device specific functionality, like graphics drawing or sound output), and "frontend code" (which implements support for certain games). These two parts are held together by a bit of middle layer code. The key API for all backends is the [http://doxygen.scummvm.org/d9/df4/classOSystem.html OSystem class] (you can use it as a great starting point to figure out most of the rest of the backend API).
 
Two key components of the backend API are the game graphics (used for drawing the game graphics, surprise surprise), which are currently limited to 8bit palette mode, and the overlay graphics (used to e.g. draw the GUI, and currently either 16bit or 8bit palette, fixed at compile time). For the overlay API, it would be nice if we could support arbitrary graphics modes, e.g. also 24/32bit modes.
 
The current overlay API is rather inflexible when it comes to supporting different modes. Most code assumes that the overlay is in 16 bit mode. For 8bit mode, a compile time switch has to be used, and supporting 24/32bit mode is virtually impossible. Furthermore, which variant of 16bit mode is determined through an ugly global variable <code>gBitFormat</code> (set by the InitScalers() function in <code>graphics/scaler.cpp</code>): This variable is set to values like 555, 565 to indicate the 16bit mode variant (555 meaning that 5 bits are used for each color component, while 565 means 5bits for red, 6 for green, 5 for blue). Some systems use other modes, like 1555, 4444, or even use BGR instead of RGB. For 32bit modes, things are even more complicated.
 
''The Task:''
 
Get rid of the evil gBitFormat variable. Instead, introduce a new Graphics::PixelFormat struct (modeled after [http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fPixelFormat SDL_PixelFormat]). Enhance Graphics::Surface to use it (similar to [http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fSurface SDL_Surface]). Add a new getOverlayPixelFormat method to OSystem, and implement it in the SDL backend. Rewrite the GUI code and other code accessing the overlay to make use of the PixelFormat data, instead of using gBitFormat. This also includes updating some of the scalers (at least the simple ones; for the special ones, like HQ2x, we have to determine how to treat them best).
 
For all this, API flexibility has to be carefully weight against API complexity, and efficiency -- since we have to support small devices with limited resources, we don't want to needlessly waste CPU cycles nor memory.
 
Also, the PixelFormat code and its usage have to be documented (using Doxygen comments, and maybe a concept document), as our porters will have to implement these changes, and it must be as clear and easy as possible for them to do so.
 
''Required Skills:''
 
* Good C++ skills.
* Refactoring skills.
* Knowledge of one or more ScummVM platform backends is desirable.
 
== Audio related tasks ==
 
=== Improve sound support in SCUMM games ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]], [[User:Kirben|Travis Howell]]
 
* Add support for sound format (SID format?) used by Commodore 64 versions of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken to SCUMM engine. Unfortunately there is no demo versions are available, so you need to own one of the games.
 
* Add support for sound format used by Macintosh version of Loom to SCUMM engine. Known [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=824221&group_id=37116&atid=418823  information] about the structure of the sound resources used is available. If you don't own the game, the LucasArts Mac CD Game pack is usually available via eBay.
 
=== MIDI enhancements ===
Many of the adventures supported by ScummVM make use of MIDI music. Which is why we already include several device drivers for various MIDI APIs and emulators (e.g. ALSA, Windows MIDI, Mac OS X CoreAudio/CoreMIDI, fluidsynth...).
 
==== MIDI device configuration ====
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
 
''Background:''
 
Right now, the MIDI drivers are treated by ScummVM in a rather single minded fashion: Either a driver is linked in and hence "available", or not. It's not possible to configure anything about them (like ports to be used etc.), nor does it ever take into account that a single driver might correspond to multiple devices (after all, you can plug several sequencers into your MIDI port; or you could have configured several different sound font settings in your MIDI emulator).
 
''The Task:''
 
* Add an API for querying the OSystem backend for a list of available MIDI devices (not drivers)
* Information about the selected device must be serializable, so that it can be stored in the config file
* Selection of devices via command line should be possible
* It must deal with devices being added/removed (at least between runs of ScummVM, ideally also while ScummVM is running)
* Devices should be configurable via the GUI; this needs to be done in a flexible (different devices/drivers offer different settings) and portable fashion.
 
==== Accolade  MIDI parser ====
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Kirben|Travis Howell]]
 
''Background:''
 
The Elvira 1 (DOS), Elvira 2 (DOS), Waxworks (DOS) games of the AGOS engine use the [http://adplug.sourceforge.net/library/entry.php?file=db/AccoladeMidi.txt Accolade MIDI] format for music. The current parser (see engines/agos/midiparser_s1d.cpp), is based off looking at the music in the DOS Floppy Demo of Simon the Sorcerer 1 (Which was based Waxworks engine) and guess work. The current code frequently crashes when changing locations in Waxworks, due to invalid MIDI data been passed along.
 
''The Task:''
 
Updated the current parser, to completely support the [http://adplug.sourceforge.net/library/entry.php?file=db/AccoladeMidi.txt Accolade MIDI] format used by these games. There are already comments in the current code, about where each additional MIDI event is triggered in the music of these games.
 
==== XMIDI parser ====
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
 
''Background:''
 
Several of our games make use of the XMIDI format. We already have a parser for it (see sound/midiparser_xmidi.cpp), which was based on code from the [http://exult.sf.net Exult] project, but it is incomplete.
 
''The Task:''
 
Specifically, we require support for XMIDI_CONTROLLER_FOR_LOOP and XMIDI_CONTROLLER_NEXT_BREAK. There are many more XMIDI controllers, however, and ideally support for all of them would be great. Some references:
 
* The XMIDI code from the [http://exult.sf.net Exult] project (see Exult's audio/midi_drivers/XMidiSequence.cpp) could be used as a reference again.
* In addition, [http://pentagram.sf.net Pentagram] has XMidi code based on the Exult code, but may be cleaner (see [http://pentagram.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pentagram/pentagram/trunk/audio/midi/ here].)
* Another good reference for this task is the AIL library which has been recently open-sourced by its [http://www.thegleam.com/ke5fx/ author]. This is infact where XMIDI comes from, and it even contains specs. To find them, unzip AIL2.ZIP; in there you find A214_D2.ZIP, which when unzipped contains a dir DOC, which in turn contains ASCIIDOC.ZIP, which then contains XMIDI.TXT and some other files which might be of use (e.g. NOTES.TXT).
 
=== Support for AMIGA Audio Formats: TFMX and MaxTrax ===
 
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]], [[User:DrMcCoy|Sven Hesse]], [[User:Jubanka|Kostas Nakos]]
 
''Background:''
 
Since we're adding (and have added so far) support for different Amiga game versions, we need support for the sound files too.
Currently we need support for following formats:
 
* Desktop Tracker format used by music in the Acorn disk version of Simon the Sorcerer 1. [http://www.tribbeck.com/software/sonor/dtt/manual/appx_f.html  Information] about the specifications of the Desktop Track format and [http://members.optusnet.com.au/wormmon/mods/ sample mods] are available.
 
* MaxTrax support for Kyrandia 1. The Amiga version isn't supported yet, but [[User:LordHoto|LordHoto]] will be working on it when his copy arrives. A Motorola 68000 (short: 68k) assembler implementation by Joe Pearce can be found [http://amiga.emucamp.com/wt/files/sources/SRC_MaxTrax.lzx here]. It would be necessary to re-implement it in proper C++, naturally a must for this task is 68k assembler knowledge. If you don't have the Amiga version of the Legend of Kyrandia, there are [http://www.exotica.org.uk/tunes/unexotica/games/Legend_of_Kyrandia.html sample modules] available.
 
* TFMX a (non-MOD) format used by Monkey Island 1. There is a [http://freshmeat.net/projects/tfmx-play/ player] for it already, which is written in rather poor C, also it misses several macros implementation. [http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=tfmx This] documentation may be useful, it isn't complete though. If you don't have the Amiga version of Monkey Island 1 you can use the [http://quick.mixnmojo.com/demos/mi1amigademo.zip demo] of Monkey Island 1. The main objective of this task is to write a TFMX player with all the effects and macros needed by the Monkey Island music tunes. Work can be based on the original - uncommented - replayer routine disassembly (Motorola 68k).
 
== Tools ==
 
=== Tools: Create a great user interface for the compression tools ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Fingolfin|Max Horn]]
 
''Background:''
 
We offer a multitude of command line tools in a separate package (scummvm-tools).
The majority of these tools are used to (re)compress audio data. This greatly helps users who want to play their games on devices with limited storage, like PDAs and smart phones.
 
The user can choose between MP3, Ogg Vorbis and (in those cases where it makes sense) FLAC compression. The tools take the original data files, extract sound data, compress them, and reassemble everything into new (smaller) data files.
 
''The Task:''
 
Right now, those tools are mainly for command line users. Needless to say, this makes it very difficult to use for many people who just want to play a game, and who do not have a strong technical background.
 
During GSoC 2007, progress was made in unifying the internal code of these tools (mainly the compression tools). Also a basic GUI wrapper using wxWidget was added, as a first step towards making the tools usable for non-experts. However, this wrapper is right now a very thin shell around the true complexity of the tools.
 
Your task would be to turn this GUI tool into a truly amazing and portable tool (usable on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X at least, ideally on more) which would be very easy to use for beginners, yet offers (optionally) the full power of the compression tools for experts.
 
In particular, the user should be able to just drop a file onto the tool icon (or one of its windows), the tool would detect which game it is looking at, and offer a simple "one-click-and-done" start button to the user. Optionally, the user could tweak his default settings before starting the conversion (like choosing a different compression level, a custom output directory, etc.). The GUI would be very forgiving to the user (e.g. if selecting data from a read-only media or a directory with not enough free space, it would automatically ask the user for an alternate output location of the generated files. It would upon startup show a nice friendly window with instructions on how to use it, etc.). The exact desired feature set would have to be determined at the start of the project, in discussions with the ScummVM team members and users on our forums. This would be turned into a rough set of mockups and/or texts describing the planned features.
Many ideas for what could be done here already exist, but you are most welcome to also develop and contribute your own!
 
== Engine/game specific ==
 
=== Add support fot Dragon's History game ===
 
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]]
 
''Background:''
 
[[http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/index-en.html | Dragon's History]] game sources were released under GPL. They are writtein in Turbo Pascal and have extensive Czech comments in it. Game assets were also released as freeware.
 
It would be nice to have this game supported by ScummVM.
 
This task requires basic Pascal knowledge (because that language is really easy) and strong C++ knowledge, as the engine has to be created from the scratch. Also it may not fit in 12 weeks of GSoC, so further support for the engine is expected.
 
=== Objectify CruisE engine ===
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]]
 
''Background:''
 
The cruisE engine also started out as an external project started by [[User:Yazoo|Yaz0r]]. Originally it was written in plain C.
ScummVM is a C++ project, so we need to objectify this engine without changing/breaking its behavior. The engine is fairy complete, but also suffers from portability problems, that is it works correctly only under little-endian, alignment-agnostic CPUs.
 
The engine itself is well-structured, hence many functions / variables which might be good candidates for being grouped together into a C++ class are already grouped by files.


No deep knowledge of the engine internals is required too.
== Current Open Tasks ==


We have previously "objectified" several other engines, namely SAGA, Gob and AGI, so one can learn a lot about various approaches how to do this by tracing through our SVN repository.
Below is a table of some open tasks that people may wish to consider working on and links for more information.
These tasks can be considered in addition or in conjunction with anything on our [[TODO]], any other task or your own 'Anything you can dream of' project.


=== Add 16bit graphics support to SCUMM engine ===
They are usually NOT kept up to date. Please contact us (ideally via IRC) before you even start thinking about one of these tasks. Again, see [[GSoC Ideas]] if you're looking for Google Summer of Code ideas for 2014.
''Technical Contact'': [[User:Kirben|Travis Howell]], [[User:Sev|Eugene Sandulenko]]


''Background:''
<!--The GSoC workload figure was used to indicate the percentage of GSoC project time we consider this task will take an average competent programmer. These are just rough guides and should you feel you can undertake a task well in less time (or take longer but deliver a much better or more feature rich result) please feel free to mention this on your application and select your tasks accordingly.-->


The SCUMM engine was originally developed for palette-based graphics. At version 6 it was forked by Humongous Entertainment, which extended it significantly. Their later games started to use 16bit graphics for backgrounds and actors. See [[Humongous Entertainment/Progress/16bits Support|here]] for more detailed information.


This task requires good knowledge of C++, as we need a solution which will not clobber our code,
<dpl>
will have minimal impact on 8bit games, and can be optionally turned off at compilation stage.

A TODO list by its very nature if often made up of vague pointers or ''one line'' ideas. Please seek clarification if you are unsure of any [[TODO]].


Our AGI engine is in quite good shape. Still it misses some important aspects:


* NAGI has better Tandy music support, particularly noise channel emulation is better there. NAGI license lets use its code directly in ScummVM. For the most authentic model MAME could be referenced, though its license is not GPL-compatible
<dpl>
* Add support for AGI 2.01 games, such as Donald Duck Playground
