Parallaction/TODO

General

• make a clean implementation of double-buffering, with centralized updateScreen(). This would significantly deviate from the original engine, but may be the only way to effectively implement hardware-based effects (like half-brite). Other versions of the engine will surely benefit from a clean approach, too.
• merge input loops: make one input routine for menu, one for dialogue and one for _c_endIntro (possibly merge it with menu). It would be probably needed as part of the new double-buffering implementation. Should be worthy to investigate if it can be made before.
• make a real Parser: maybe not strictly necessary but sounds cool :)

Nippon Safes

Known serious issues:

• Dino sometimes crashes after reduction at Matsushita Lab: the game scripts seems to assign an incorrect y coordinate to the character, crashing the engine.
• Dino crashes when opening the shopping bag in Mitsushita office (not on loadgames) [under investigation]
• Dough crashes when parachuting from monastery (not on loadgames) [under investigation]

Other less relevant issues:

• The Halfbrite spotlight for donna's show is not working: the effect is handled in hardware in the original game, and the current implementation doesn't allow for a clean solution. See General TODO above (double-buffering stuff).
• Characters should walk faster to match the original.

Amiga issues:

• Hiragana code blocks in protection screen should change color when pressed.
• Make proper balloons with rounded corners for dialogues [needs a polygon fill routine]
