\nThe key of my fast progress is that as we augured with Strangerke before, I was able to use most of the\u00a0graphic<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0sound<\/a>\u00a0code from CGE1 in my engine. In truth, it only needed a little bit of hammering here and there, and the biggest differences were the different file names of the music files and that Sfinx uses a screen resolution of 320×240 instead of Soltys’ 320×200. I also included the WAV player in my engine, but it’s testing will wait until I implement “Snail” (the script parser), because it’s only used there. But, if everything goes as planned, there won’t be much more difference than the different file names again.
\nI’d explain the working of the sounds and the graphics here, but since it’s working for now, I didn’t really spend much time with understanding what’s under the hood yet. I am convinced that there’ll be difficulties with the further implementation, and sooner or later I’ll have to fully understand and modify these parts of the engine too, so I leave the explanation for that time. For now, my aim is to copy as much as I can from CGE1, get as much as possible of CGE2 working, and then modify and polish the resulting code.<\/p>\n
