 = Game Oddities: Read This Before Reading The Report

 == Missing \ Broken Files
 Do to a lack of testing by the developer, The game looks for or tries to
 run files that are broken or missing. Any error messages that ask for the
 following files can't be fixed and should be ignored.

 || __**File Name**__           || __**Error**__ || __**Cause**__
 ||todd1.aif                    || WARNING: Failed to open todd1! ||
 todd1.aif contains no audio data
 ||You intro || WARNING: Failed to open You intro! || There are no files on
 the disk call "You intro" aka, its missing
 ||Shared.cst || findPath(): failed to resolve "Shared.cst" ||There are no
 files on the disk call "Shared" aka, its missing
 ||SONG084.AIF || WARNING: Failed to open SONG084.AIF! ||There are no files
 on the disk call "SONG084" aka, its missing
 ||Rockettt.Aif || __WARNING: Failed to open Rockettt.Aif__ || There are no
 files on the disk call "Rockettt", that said,

 ||its not a missing file, At some point during development, they renamed
 it to "BIBLQUIZ.AIF" and didn't update the the storybook code for the
 final release. If you make a copy of "BIBLQUIZ.AIF", rename this copy to
 Rockettt.AIF and put it into the game folder, it will work perfectly fine.

 == Missing \ Incorrect File Extensions
 For unknown reasons, a lot of game files have either incorrect or missing
 extensions

 = The Report

 == General Issues

 === Main Menu
 The menu has been fixed and now works.

 === The Mysterious Crash:
 There is crash that only happens in ScummVM but I have been hesitant to
 report it because I have no clue what triggers it. Its not at all
 consistent, sometimes I run the game 10 times and never run into it but
 then randomly out of the blue, it will crash, sometimes the crash is so
 bad that ScummVM will stop responding or CTD altogether. I've had it crash
 because I open help button in the puzzle game and clicked the text that
 pops up. I've had it crash after using the UI of the Discover The Bible
 activity.

 I encountered the crash when around the first test the game last November,
 I've encountered the crash while making the many updates to this report
 over last few months and I encountered it again while retesting it for
 today's update. It needs fixing but the lack of a known way to
 consistently trigger the crash is going to make it hard to debug this
 issue.

 === Incorrect Cursor icons
 ScummVM is not loading the correct cursor icons and causing issues. The
 hit boxes in the "Dot to Dot" game for example are programmed for the
 cursor shown in the image below, these incorrect icons makes these already
 bad hit boxes even worse.

 **''__The photos below shows the game running in x86Box with the correct
 cursor icons__
 [[Image(3.JPG)]]

 In the maze "hide and seek" game, the cursor is supposed to turn into a
 magnifying glass when place over a spot that can be searched but in
 ScummVM, the cursor either become invisible or turn into the hand icon.

 == Activities

 === **Storybook - Paul and the Bright Light**
 Works but has some UNK stub errors

 === Bible Quiz Show
 Works

 === Discover The Bible
 It works with one text issue still present. Although the text no longer
 brakes If you click bible icon twice, there is still some some text
 corruption visible and while it fairly minor in this game, whatever is
 causing this issue may cause a much bigger issue in another game.

 === Hall of Fame
 Works but has some UNK stub errors

 === Bible-Time Theater
 Works well, videos play without graphical issues.

 == Mini-Games

 === Matching Game:
 It works well but the audio that plays when you finish the board is
 missing. ScummVM is not playing internal cast member 21 (the named of the
 cast is "cherring")

 === Maze:
 It technically works but the incorrect cursor icons makes almost
 unplayable.

 === Bible Memory:
 Works with some errors, the second seems to be related to a graphical
 issue where a box (with text in it) leaves two noticeable pieces of itself
 on screen. While a minor issue in this game, there is a good chance that
 whatever is causing this effecting another game more severely
 ||WARNING: Frame::readMainChannelsD5(): STUB: unk2: 0x00 0x01!
 ||WARNING: b_puppetTransition: Transition already queued!
 [[Image(2.JPG)]]

 === Dot to Dot:
 Works

 === Puzzles:
 Works with a minor graphical issue on the puzzle selection menu, there is
 a thin white line that shouldn't be there.

 === Word Games:
 Works
