The Wintermute Engine (WME) is a set of tools for creating and running graphical adventure games. ~~It was originally only for Windows~~, ~~letting users create~~ 2D, ~~2.5D (using 3D characters in~~ a ~~2D environment) and 3D games for free~~.

The Wintermute Engine (WME) is a set of tools for creating and running graphical adventure games. This idea involves integrating the game runtime engine into ScummVM - this would make the games far more portable. Since there is a free SDK, it would allow people to directly develop 2D games that would run in ScummVM, which is a regular request from ScummVM users.

While the original runtime itself is LGPL, there is also a portable version of the runtime called ''WME Lite'', which already runs on Windows, iOS and MacOS. It only supports the 2D games, but since the 2.5D/3D games are outside the scope of ScummVM, that is ideal.

The important part of the task would be the actual integration; using ScummVM subsystems for graphics, audio, input, etc, and reworking the code to follow our portability/style guidelines. If there's enough time, it would also be possible to add some missing WME Lite features: for example, video support (which is probably most important) and sprite frame mirroring, rotations and blending modes.
