===Reducing the size of the ScummVM executable=== | |||
Excerpt from mail on scummvm-devel, 2008-11-12, Subject: "Re: [Scummvm-devel] ScummVM binary size comparison" | |||
We are considering removing the XML parser altogether, and instead | |||
using an external tool to convert the theme XML (and later, the | |||
virtual keyboard XML) into a binary format, which would be a lot more | |||
compact than XML, and even could contain image data. Validation of | |||
the XML would be done externally, too (using DTD / XML Scheme / | |||
RelaxNG). This would probably cut 50-100k from the current code | |||
size. The binary theme like would have to be regenerated for new | |||
releases. | |||
