Fedor,<br>
I suspect you are likely looking at the original V1.07 / V1.08 source<br>
code release from Seth Robinson / RTSoft.<br>
</span>You right.<br>
<span><br>
The GNU Freedink project provides a much cleaner codebase compatible<br>
with V1.07 or V1.08 targeted game data. As this replaced all the<br>
Windows specific code with SDL and is GPL licensed, we should base<br>
any ScummVM engine port on this:<br>
<a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/freedink/about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.gnu.org/software/freedink/about</a><br>
<br>
The code can be found here:<br>
<a href="http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freedink.git" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freedink.git</a><br>
<br>
As an aside, as Freedink is already providing a portable SDL<br>
based engine for Dink Smallwood and MODs, I am not clear what<br>
the utility of the scummvm engine port GSoC task would be:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2016#Dink_Smallwood_engine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2016#Dink_Smallwood_engine</a><br>
</span>You mean useless idea? This is very bad if already presented tasks throw away at this moment.<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> I suggest that if we are intending to integrate this, we should<br>
intend to provide a solution for this which is a set of patches to<br>
the latest Freedink code to migrate the core engine to OSystem from<br>
SDL, integrate and remove any uneeded code i.e. as per our integrated<br>
version of MUNT.<br>
<br>
This will allow the engine to be maintained in future and track any<br>
future Freedink releases.<br>
Thanks,<br>
David Turner<br>
