-The Z-engine was the engine used by [[Activision]] in [[Zork Nemesis]] and [[Zork: Grand Inquisitor]].
+==About==
+The ZVision was the engine used by [[Activision]] in [[Zork Nemesis]] and [[Zork: Grand Inquisitor]].
-This engine is being added by the GSoC student [[User:RichieSams|RichieSams]] to ScummVM as part of the GSoC 2013.  The ScummVM engine uses Marisa Chan's Z-engine re-implementation, which is available from [http://github.com/Marisa-Chan/Zengine http://github.com/Marisa-Chan/Zengine], as a reference.

-*[https://github.com/RichieSams/scummvm/tree/zengine Current WIP for Z-engine, on a git fork from ScummVM]
+It should be noted that from a technical viewpoint, this engine has nothing in common with the [[MADE]] engine used for [[Return to Zork]].
+It should also not be confused with the [[Glk/ZCode|Z-machine]] which is the original Virtual Machine used for the original [[Zork series|Zork]] <b>text</b> adventure games.
+==Status==
+Both Zork: Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor are completable
+==Immediate TODO's==
+* Add a dirty rectangling system for RenderManager AlphaEntries so we're not rendering them to the backbuffer every frame
+==List of TODO's for ZVision to be playable==
+===ZGI specific TODO's===
+(None at the moment)
+===Nemesis specific TODO's===
+(None at the moment)
+==ZGI DVD TODO's==
+* AC3 audio decoding is a bit hacky, with hard-coded volume adjustments for each video. It would be good if someone could figure out how to do without these.
