Difficulty level: Medium. You'll need a reasonable level of programming experience, and probably some Director games. | |||
Many 90s-era adventure games were developed using the Macromedia (now Adobe) Director tool. It would be nice to be able to play these games in ScummVM! We have Python code available which can parse and display the contents of Director 2 and Director 3 'movie' files. This should be enough to implement a ScummVM engine to allow some early Director adventures to be played; for example, parsing the movie files, implementing the frame-based playback system, drawing bitmaps and shapes, playing sounds and running some basic (Lingo) scripting. | Many 90s-era adventure games were developed using the Macromedia (now Adobe) Director tool.
