''Background:''
We recently added support for many older [[Sierra]] games, by adding the [[AGI]] engine, by assimilating the Sarien project. Despite the relative age of the code behind this (i.e., Sarien already existed and matured for several years), there are various [[AGI/TODO|open tasks]]:
* Implement AGI256 and AGI256-2 engine extensions
* Fix bugs triggered by fan made games
* Finish implementation of Apple IIgs sound
* Finish implementation of predictive input
* Add Amiga style (colored) menus
* Add a Hercules emulation mode
Some of these tasks will require engine knowledge, but the engine itself is tiny and well documented, so it should be possible to learn enough about it in a relatively brief period of time. Additionally [http://www.agidev.com/projects/nagi/ NAGI] and [http://www.dagii.org/ DAGII] could be used as reference. Particularly, NAGI is known to be more compatible with fan made games
