What I did for the ScummVM implementation was to utilize a nifty feature of the ScummVM framework that allows the creation of virtual file systems that expose files as if they're standard files you can open with a Common::File just like files in the game directory. Using this, in the engines\glk\frotz\pics.cpp I create a virtual archive of all the pictures that the original Infocom games had, and expose them as a really simple "raw" format, like pic1.raw, pic2.raw, and so on. The Glk core has then been enhanced so that when you request to, for example, draw picture #1, in addition to looking for pic1.jpg, pic1.png, it also looks for pic1.raw, and if it finds it, loads it up and displays it just like it would JPG & PNG.</div><div><br></div><div>This way, I didn't have to put Frotz specific rendering code in the core Glk layer. So I'll do something similar when I implement the existing Magnetic Glk engine. Maybe you could do something similar for libxglk if you keep using it.</div><div><br></div><div>Paul.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="ox-bb87fbf8d4-gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="ox-bb87fbf8d4-gmail_attr">On Sat, May 4, 2019 at 8:40 PM dettus < <a href="mailto:dettus@dettus.net">dettus@dettus.net</a>> wrote: <br></div><blockquote>Hello. <br> <br> <br> So, I looked into GLK.
