The [[SCUMM]] engine was originally developed for palette-based graphics. At version 6 it was forked by Humongous Entertainment, which extended it significantly. Their later games started to use 16bit graphics for backgrounds and actors. See [[Humongous Entertainment/Progress/16bits Support|here]] for more detailed information.

~~Other~~ game ~~engines would also benefit from the ability to use 16 / 24 bit~~ graphics~~: e.g.~~ [[Urban Runner]]~~, which uses~~ the [[Gob]] engine, as well ~~as all [[Groovie]] engine games other than [[The 7th Guest]]~~.

Future games (The 11th Hour, Clandestiny, Tender Loving Care, Uncle Henry's Playhouse) using the [[Groovie]] game engine will require 16bit graphics too, and [[Urban Runner]] from the [[Gob]] game engine, requires 24bit graphics as well.

This task requires good knowledge of C++, as we need a solution which will not clobber our code,

will have minimal impact on 8bit games, and can be optionally turned off at compilation stage.

~~If you don't have any of the required games, there are several~~ [http://~~www~~.~~scummvm~~.~~org~~/demos.~~php demos~~] ~~available. A 16bit graphics demo example would be the~~ [~~http~~://~~quick~~.~~mixnmojo~~.com/demos/~~ffcovedemo~~.~~zip Freddi5~~ demo].

The [http://quick.mixnmojo.com/demos/ffcovedemo.zip Freddi Fish 5 demo], [ftp://ftp.atari.com/demos/moonbase_commander/MoonBaseCommanderDemo.exe Moonbase Commander demo] and Urban Runner demo (videos only) could be used for testing, if you don't own any of the required games.
