I am a Google Summer of Code 2007 participant working on ScummVM's AGI engine. (My GSoC 2007 application abstract)
The project diary is where I put more verbose stuff about my GSoC 2007 workings.
ToDo
- Fix priority screen showing (For debugging) in AGI256 and AGI256-2 mode
- Pretty much done, only ego's priority showing still missing
- Write documentation for AGI256 and AGI256-2 hacks
- Disable CGA rendering for AGI256 and AGI256-2 games
Thinking about adding
- Create new functionality for loading 256 color palettes (Could be aptly named AGIPAL256)
- And possibly hack it also into AGI256-2's AGI.EXE (Would this be useful?)
At the moment AGI256 and AGI256-2 games have a static 256 color palette, so I think this would be a nice addition. Thinking about a similar way as as AGIPAL, but this time using shake_screen command's values 110+ and using filenames like pal256.110 etc. Or another way would be to add a palette into the end of an AGI256 picture resource and setting that as the current palette when loading the picture resource.
Currently working on (Last updated on 2007-06-21)
Got AGI256 and AGI256-2 support done just now, haven't decided yet what to do next.
