* The AdLib music does not sound right. I'm speculating that we would need to use the SAMPLE.* files from the original for Adlib instruments. Here is a description of the format probably used by SAMPLE.BNK:  http://www.descent2.com/ddn/specs/bnk/ . The adlib.diff patch could possibly provide a starting point.

*# On the long run, turning all these variables into members of to-be-added classes (i.e. objectifying the engine) is preferable, but the above seems to be the easiest and quickest solution.

== Game issues ==
* Perform play testing, look for problems, and then add them all here!
* Check engine code for any 64-bit system incompatible code.

* Check engine code for endian issues, specifically Big Endian issues.

* Perform play testing, looking for bugs.
== Other stuff ==
* Add fixes/workarounds for bugs present in the original games - See [[Tinsel/Bugs]].
 
* Currently, we semi-arbitrarily assigned F5 & F7 to open the load/save dialogs (dreammaster did this to match Lure, which in turn follows the 'Sierra standard'). Maybe we should agree on some standard hotkeys which work in all (most/many) engines?
