This week I worked on the Hypno and Dungeon Master engines. I also got my Chamber keymapper PR merged 🎉.
Hypno Engine
Working on the Hypno engine felt a bit nostalgic—it was actually the first engine I touched in ScummVM when I fixed a small bug as an intake task for GSoC.
The engine supports three different games, each with its own input handling. Because of this, I had to create separate keymaps for each game, rather than a single shared one.
Apart from that, the implementation was fairly straightforward. The main tasks were:
-
Disabling the keymapper in certain sections where the game uses full keyboard input
-
Enabling/disabling keymaps for some of the menus
Nothing particularly tricky, but it was nice to revisit the engine where my GSoC journey began.
Dungeon Master Engine
Dungeon Master was another unannounced engine that I added keymapper support to. Fortunately, it didn’t have any blocking bugs or missing features, so I was able to test it thoroughly without issues.
The engine came with a decent number of keys to map, but overall the process was smooth and didn’t pose any significant difficulties.
Wrap-Up
