[[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 a WIP engine in ScummVM tree, but it requires much more work in order to implement all hundreds of Lingo commands. | [[Director/Games|Many 90s-era adventure games]] were developed using the Macromedia (now Adobe) Director tool.

We have full sources for [[Halls of the_Dead: Faery Tale Adventure II]] game. This needs to be refactored and brought to ScummVM's OSystem framework.

ScummVM includes text-to-speech capabilities that are currently used to improve accessibility in the GUI, and to add speech to a few games. More games could benefit from it and the task will be to add text-to-speech to those. | ScummVM includes text-to-speech capabilities that are currently used to improve accessibility in the GUI, and to add speech to a few games.

=== Add Keymapper to more games === | |||

Difficulty: Easy | |||
ScummVM includes a global fully configurable keymapper, but this requires engines to be adapted to use it. The feature documentation: [[Keymapper]], some reference implementations: Wintermute has [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/engines/wintermute/keymapper_tables.h per-game keymaps]; [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/2428 a pull request] with adding keymapper to HDB engine; [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/cce713ee4c73504e97eba8b0ca9190e47d279e69 a commit] with adding Keymapper to a simpler engine, Griffon. | |||
