    • ifState04
    • ifState02
    • ifNotState02
    • ifNotState01
    • ifState01
    • setState08 * does not appear to request redraw (as clearState08 does)
    • clearState08
    • setState04
    • clearState04
    • setState02
    • clearState02
    • setState01
    • clearState01
    • drawObject

    • setOwnerOf * unchecked
    • delay
    • walkActorToObject * unchecked
    • putActorAtObject * unchecked
    • walkActorTo * unchecked
    • setActorElevation * different - does not multiply elevation by 2, takes it as-is

Graphics

• Flashlight shape
• Gray room palette in flashlight mode

Scripts

• Fix freeze after scrolling Maniac Manion logo
• Somehow add static MM logo and LucasArts logo (needs to be done before engine initializes)

Known Issues

• Moving the cursor in the verb/inventory area will 'select' objects in the room if they touch the top of the room (example: stairs)
• Text wrapping doesn't work for the sentence bar (it moves down 1 pixel, right in the middle of the word; needs to wrap at name/word boundaries)
• Walking and talking at the same time doesn't work - stop walking while talking and your mouth will not move, stop talking while walking and you start sliding across the room.
• Clicking in the top 16 pixels of the screen (above the subtitle bar) crashes the program.
• Walkboxes have some bugs - in some cases, you can walk through corners. This appears to be a bug with all V1-V2 games.
• After you select your characters and hit start, the first sound that gets played is 'chirping crickets' instead of 'pickup item'. This may be due to improper handling of o2_stopMusic()
• The 'maniac mansion' logo scroll during the intro gets stuck due to a camera issue (original engine expects screen to be 224 wide, but in scummvm it's 256 wide so it can't scroll far enough).
