| Closed Task | |
| Task Name | Integrate Denarius Avaricius Sextus Engine |
| Technical Contact(s) | Arnaud Boutonné, Eugene Sandulenko |
| Subsystem | Engine |
| Status | Cancelled by Strangerke - Sources not sent on time by original authors |
Background:
The authors (and right holders) of the Denarius Avaricius Sextus have recently found the sources of the engine and have decided to release those under a GPLv2 licence, as well as the data files. This engine is used by the DOS only Denarius Avaricius Sextus.
The Task:
- Convert the sources from Pascal to C
- Clean up the resulting code, make it compile
- Integrate it in ScummVM
- Make use of ScummVM subsystems for graphics, audio, input, ...
- Rework code to follow our portability guidelines
- Refactor/Objectify it
The Benefits:
- Integrating Denarius Engine in ScummVM will allow Denarius Avaricius Sextus to be properly freed, as it'll provide a portable environment to play it.
- Denarius Avaricius Sextus Engine will also benefit all the enhancement proposed by ScummVM.
- The game will get a second life as the full (and free) version of the game will be available on our site.
Required Skills:
- Good C++ skills.
- Good knowledge of ScummVM coding conventions and portability guidelines (could be learned in less than a week)
- Engine internals could be studied quickly. (The original authors are willing to help by answering questions)
- Pascal knowledge is a plus.
