As of yesterday, the Summer of Code coding period is now officially over. With my last official week of GSoC, Meet MediaBand<\/em>‘s second music video “UnDo Me” is now mostly working. I hoped to show off a fully working version this week, but getting it perfect requires some changes to the common video decoder. I’ve implemented these changes, but I still need to do more debugging, and I won’t be able to merge them until the 2.5.0 code freeze is over anyway. After that, I just need to implement the PopMenu XObject and fix a handful of bugs, and Meet MediaBand<\/em> should be fully functional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concludes my second year and final year of GSoC, so I’d like to thank ScummVM for taking me on as a student, and Google for providing funding. Even though GSoC is over, my work on the Director engine definitely is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I set out to implement a Macromedia Director 8.5 player from scratch in 2017, starting a short-lived project separate from ScummVM. Eventually, I wised up and joined work on the ScummVM Director player, and my two summers of contributions have helped the player to reach Director 2 support, with Director 3 and 4 on the verge of stability. I’ve begun plotting out what needs to be done to support future Director versions<\/a>, and while I won’t be able to dedicate as much time to this project going forward, I do hope to eventually see a Director 8.5 player through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll post a full summary of this year’s GSoC later this week. Once I have MediaBand<\/em> fully done, I’ll do another progress update, so look out for that soon. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
