* Size: 175 hours | |||
Last year, we successfully ported qdEngine to ScummVM. However, there are a few smaller tasks left: | |||
* Implementing interface for advanced mini-games | |||
* Fixing pathfinding | |||
* Fixing actor lighting in some circumstances | |||
* Adding more features to the debugger, written in ImGui | |||
This could be a good introductory task into general engine development for a well-established engine codebase. | |||
If you can understand Russian, you may also help with playtesting the rest of the games and perhaps fixing any issues that we discover. | |||
=== Porting ALIS engine to ScummVM === | |||

ALIS (Actor Language Integrated System) is an engine that was used by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silmarils_(company) Simlarils] for most of their games and about 17 of them are expected to work on this engine. There is an engine that is almost complete, it is pretty small, less than 10k lines of code and is distributed under MIT license. [https://github.com/maestun/alis Engline] and we also have Ghidra projects for the engine. | |||
The purpose of this task is to port this engine to ScummVM as a separate engine engine. | |||
=== YAGA engine === | |||
* Technical contacts: [[User:Sev|sev]] or [[User:Strangerke|strangerke]] | |||
* Difficulty level: Medium. | |||
* Size: 175 hours | |||
This engine was used for two later [[Humongous Entertainment]] games, [[Pajama Sam: Life is Rough When You Lose Your Stuff]] and [[Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise]]. The engine is basically an extension of Python 2.2. There exists an almost complete reimplementation by cyx [https://github.com/cyxx/linyaga on GitHub] (which we have permission to use) that can be used as a base, and we also have the complete source code for the original game. | |||
The task is relatively straightforward, the only difficulty with it is adding Python as an external dependency, but a mentor is there to help. Implementing the missing "Lip Sync" feature will be the main part of this task. | |||
The goal is to bring cyx's code to ScummVM and use the original code as a reference later. | |||
