| This is partly as there is no SDL port for DOS. The student would either need to look at SDL DOS porting, create a DOS custom backend or use the Win32 port of SDL using HX Extender. A native DOS porting of SDL is the recommended route, targeting VESA VGA Graphics, SB16 Sound Output, MPU401 etc.

| It would be intended that the required libraries including libSDL and ScummVM would be compiled by an open C++ toolchain such as [http://www.openwatcom.org OpenWatcom].

| Since [http://www.dosbox.com/ DOSBox] provides an emulated DOS machine and [http://www.freedos.org/ FreeDOS] provides a free and open source 100% compatible DOS implementation, MS DOS will not be needed by the student, though support for this is intended.

| The student would require good C/C++ skills and knowledge of DOS internals or a willingness to learn and demonstrable progress on this task i.e. DOS Graphics Demo...
