Project description

During GSoC 2018, I was working on adding support of Pink Panther games to ScummVM: The Pink Panther: Passport To Peril and The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink.

 

Goals achieved

Pink Engine:

Pull Request

The engine is now located in main ScummVM tree and work is continued in ScummVM’s main tree.

The games are completeable.

I have tested games and haven’t seen serious problems.

ScummVM’s library:

During GSOC I have fixed various bugs in ScummVM’s code.

• VIDEO: fix rewinding of FLIC files 
• VIDEO: fixed decoding byteRun when there is more than 255 packets on line
• COMMON: fix wrong size assignment in HashMap
• VIDEO: fix seeking to first/second frame if it exceeds uint16 offset

Future work

• Implement ActionText drawing of non-English versions.
• Add another engine to ScummVM.

Code

The code for pink engine is in the repo:

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/tree/master/engines/pink

The commits that I made :

At the 12 week I have done:

1. Fixed walking bug.
2. added conversion method from windows codepages to utf-32
3. made text to draw for the English version of the game

What’s left:

1. add unicode support for MacText, so other versions could draw text.

From this project, I have known a lot about reverse-engineering and sprite graphics.

I was very happy to work with sev. He is very experienced reverse-engineer.

I will finish the project and will support it for the testing period.
