Status

• Engine is outside of the tree
• Both full game and demo are completable from the beginning
• Only the Macintosh version is supported

TODO

• Make QuickTime properly stop at a given time
  • Videos usually display a frame more than they should
• Implement QuickTime rate control
  • Used by the Norad filling station
  • Used by the "pressure" mini-game when destroying Poseidon
• Screen fading
• When loading a game from the pause menu (or from cmd/ctrl+o/l in-game), some videos somehow unpause and play some amount of audio
• Energy bar calibration sometimes flashes full before calibrating properly (doesn't always happen)
• Code cleanup
  • Remove last two global constructed objects
  • Propagate a PegasusEngine pointer to various classes
  • Cleanup some constant handling
• Some slow computers shouldn't delay the 10ms on playing videos (not from the Movie class) (ie. digitall's Atom processor is too slow to handle it :P)
  • Probably should only delay if getTimeToNextFrame() >= 10

Original Game Bugs

1. WSC: Dragging the antidote on the screen on your second trip in always shows the end replication video
2. Mars: Cursor shows during the canyon chase after moving it
3. Norad Delta: The loop sound for the missile control room is corrupt on the disc; mastering error? But the DVD is broken too!
4. General: From the main menu, selecting 'walkthru' does nothing -- the game just resets to adventure.*
5. WSC: The "Images/AI/WSC/XN59WD" video is missing causing an AI video not to play.
6. General: After using "cmd+o" to load a game while the pause menu is up, the screen dimmer remains on screen after loading the game.*

* items have been fixed
