→Add 16bit graphics support to SCUMM engine: Update: other engines would benefit, and 24bit would be useful too
(→Add a testing framework for ScummVM's engines: we really want this to be working on small devices too, thus a testing device is required to work on that task) |

We have previously "objectified" several other engines, namely SAGA, Gob and AGI, so one can learn a lot about various approaches how to do this by tracing through our SVN repository. | We have previously "objectified" several other engines, namely SAGA, Gob and AGI, so one can learn a lot about various approaches how to do this by tracing through our SVN repository. | ||

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. | The [[SCUMM]] engine was originally developed for palette-based graphics.

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]]. | |||
