I'm Andrea Boscarino (aka AndywinXp on GitHub, and Bosca mostly everywhere else, real life included);<br>I am a 26 yo guy with a computer engineer master's degree and a passion for AI, audio programming, old school Adventure Games, <br>playing guitar/bass/piano/drums, hiking, and well... cooking (but that's basically bound to happen to any italian folk :-P).<br><br>My contributions to ScummVM started a little more than a year ago when I decided to try and fix a Digital iMUSE bug<br>in the SCUMM engine; nothing big, apparently, I just wanted to fix a portion of a theme not being played until the end.<br>This escalated fairly quickly, so that I ended up learning the basics of reverse engineering and rewriting the engine<br>from the ground up over the course of a year, mainly thanks to the support of highly skilled people, such as sev, aquadran, <br>and later to eriktorbjorn for all the headache-inducing debugging process.<br><br>I also contributed some minor fixes to the walk code and text positioning of SCUMM v7-8 games, in collaboration with athrxx.<br><br>My current plans for the future are:<br>- Rewrite DiMUSE for Grim Fandango (which shouldn't take as long as it currently took me, since GRIM uses a slightly lighter<br>version of the COMI variant);<br>- Take a look at the audio engine for Moonbase Commander (SCUMM-HE), study it, and possibly go through the same process I<br>went through with DiMUSE;<br>- Trying to become a better coder than I am now :-)<br><br>I'm so honored to be part of this team, full of creative, skilled and collaborative people, and I hope to stick around for many years!<br>Please feel free to reach me out on Discord, or by mail if you encounter any issue with my code. <br>Either that, or hit me up if you just need a pasta/risotto/pizza recipe.<br><br>Sending my best regards,<br>Andrea<br></div>
