First of all we ask that students give a detailed schedule for their project as part of their application for GSoC. We know that this is likely to change after the start of the coding period, but this helps the students in splitting the work into small manageable tasks and organizing their work. This also helps to make sure that the project is achievable and realistic. | First of all we ask that students give a detailed schedule for their project as part of their application for GSoC.

Since 2014, ScummVM acts as a GSoC umbrella for game preservation projects, such as its sister project, ResidualVM. The purpose is only to replace the game executable, not to enhance or replace the game assets. | Since 2014, ScummVM acts as a GSoC umbrella for game preservation projects, such as its sister project, ResidualVM.

- ScummVM supports classic 2D adventure games such as Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer, Space Quest, and many more. We have also started work to support 2D RPG games such as Dungeon Master. To this end, the Virtual Machines (called Engines) are complete reimplementations in C++ of the engines used in the original games. The number of engines is constantly growing thanks to a very agile and diversified development team and ScummVM is currently able to run more than 200 games. The VM approach followed by ScummVM results in efficient code, which has been ported to numerous Operating Systems (over 30). ScummVM has a highly productive team of about 45 currently active developers (out of an all-time pool of over 130), working together on a codebase of 2,800,000 lines of code. In addition ScummVM has many non-developer contributors, and a huge and highly active community. | - ScummVM supports classic 2D adventure games such as Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer, Space Quest, and many more.
