Sub Engines of SCUMM
The SCUMM virtual machine is made up of a number of sub engines working together. Strictly, the term SCUMM only refers to the scripting language itself. The official term for the virtual machine as a whole is SPUTM --- but getting people to change is probably a lost cause.
Here are all the engines used by the SCUMM virtual machine.
- SPUTM
- The 'real' name for the engine.
- SCUMM
- The actual scripting language.
- IMUSE
- The MIDI control system, allowing dynamic music.
- SMUSH
- A movie compression format and player.
- INSANE
- The event management system used in V7+ games.
- MMUCAS
- The memory allocation system used in The Curse of Monkey Island. V8 only.
SCUMM Versions
The Program version is simply a string found within the SCUMM interpreters included with each game.
The Engine version, however, indicates which overall SCUMM revision was used in the game, indicating the format of the data files as well as any special technology used (such as iMuse and INSANE).
