[Scummvm-devel] Source code of the Tinsel engine

[Eugene Sandulenko]

Hi Wobak,

Originally, the sources were provided only for ScummVM Team and are not
public.

We started to work on the engine from the original sources, and we have a
repository with all the intermediate commits transferring the engine to the
current state.

I would gladly help you with answering questions which could let you map
out those functions. Perhaps, I will be able to pass you at least partial
sources. It depends on how long you've been involved in ResidualVM, and how
devoted you are to the idea of finishing your project.
