- Original task description:
There were several adventure games by Steffen Dingel, which are freeware now: http://outpost.simplicity.de/ Among them were Mission Supernova and Mission Supernova 2.
We got hold of the original source code written in C with some x86 assembler. We need to rewrite these in a portable C++ and add support both Missions in one engine. If possible, a translation of the game texts into English, or developing tools for performing such translation could be a great advantage.

- Original task description:
SLUDGE is an engine and adventure game development environment, developed by Hungry Software, and open sourced in 2008. It has a number of games created with it. The goal of this project is to port the Engine to ScummVM, so games, made with SLUDGE, could be run.
