To produce high-quality, versioned end user documentation by consolidating large amounts of information from disparate sources and re-writing information for clarity, consistency, and completeness. Documentation should be easy to understand for beginners, without being patronizing to tech-savvy users. 2. To create a documentation portal using a static-site generator. 3. To future-proof end user documentation by creating templates and detailed how-to instructions for future open source contributors. 1 ScummVM Documentation 2 Chapter 1. Objectives CHAPTER 2 The current situation • The available ScummVM documentation is spread across multiple sources. • Information is hard to find and often duplicated; it’s easy to get lost in obscure pages. • It’s hard to know what information is current, and what is out of date. • Some information is missing or incomplete. 3 ScummVM Documentation 4 Chapter 2. The current situation CHAPTER 3 Fixing the problem 3.1 Suggested documentation structure Landing Page |-- Getting Started | `-- Quick start guide |-- Installing ScummVM | |-- Nintendo 3DS | |-- AmigaOS | |-- Android | |-- (every) | |-- (common) | |-- (supported) | `-- (platform) |-- Using ScummVM | |-- The Launcher | |-- Global settings | |-- Game settings | `-- Keyboard shortcuts |-- Advanced options | |-- Cloud and LAN | |-- Control Mapping | |-- Configuration | |-- Command line options | |-- Graphics | `-- Music and sound |-- Help | |-- FAQ | |-- Contacts | |-- Known problems | `-- Reporting a bug `-- Release Notes Getting started 5 ScummVM Documentation New users often look for a quick start guide to get going as quickly as possible. While the install of ScummVM can be complex on some platforms, installing it onto a computer is not. The quickstart guide should cover the following: • How to install ScummVM onto Windows, Mac and Linux. • How to load, add and launch a game. Installing ScummVM In cases where the install is not intuitive, or where the user may not have a strong technical base, the user needs a comprehensive guide for installing ScummVM on any of the supported platforms. Each comprehensive installation page should cover the following: • Any system requirements/prerequisites. • How to download the appropriate version of ScummVM. • How to install ScummVM. • How to load games onto the chose platform, especially where it is not the platform the game was designed for. • How to launch ScummVM, add a game, and launch a game. Using ScummVM Users need reference documents that explain how to use ScummVM. The reference documents should cover the following: • The Launcher interface; what each window and tab looks like as well as how they function. • An explanation of the available settings, both global and game-specific. • Keyboard shortcuts/hotkeys. Advanced options Advanced users need additional, more technical information about the options available to them for tweaking how their games run. Release notes While our documentation will be versioned, having a Release Notes section may be helpful to provide a summary of changes in the latest release. This may include some areas which are currently outside the scope of this documentation, such as newly supported games or information about new engines. 3.2 Plan of attack I propose to start by creating a template for the Installing ScummVM pages, as that will be the easiest way for me to get the information I require from port maintainers/developers (especially where this information is scant or does not exist). I will pre-fill any information I already have from existing documentation, which can then be checked for completeness, accuracy, and currency, or added to as necessary. Next I will comb the existing documentation; README, wiki and website. As I go, I will re-write and add to each section as required and pull all the information into the new portal. I will also make note of what information is pulled from where, to ensure that once the portal is live there are no double-ups, contradictions, or other anomalies. Throughout, I will liaise with the mentor(s), developers, port maintainers, and any other subject matter experts to source any missing information, as well as ensuring each page is as up-to-date and comprehensive as possible. 6 Chapter 3. Fixing the problem ScummVM Documentation In the spirit of collaboration and subject to approval from the mentor(s), I would like to have the work-in-progress portal accessible to the ScummVM community throughout the writing process, to receive real-time feedback and ensure nothing is missed along the way. I suggest using a style guide, such as the Google developer documentation style guide, to ensure consistency for this body of work and for all documentation moving forward. Wherever possible, I will use screenshots, gifs, and other visual aids to enhance understanding. 3.2. Plan of attack 7 ScummVM Documentation 8 Chapter 3. Fixing the problem CHAPTER 4 Proposed timeline 4.1 Community bonding August 17 - September 13, 2020 • Continue to spend time talking to the mentor(s) and the wider ScummVM community to fine-tune the vision for the project and finalise details such as document structure and content. 4.2 Week 1 September 14 - September 20 • Create a template for the platform-specific installation pages. • Pre-fill the templates with any existing information and distribute to the appropriate port maintainers/developers for further information. 4.3 Week 2 September 21 - September 27 • Set up the new documentation portal. 4.4 Week 3 September 28 - October 4 • Using ScummVM: – The interface 9 ScummVM Documentation – Global settings • Installing ScummVM: – Platform-specific installation guides as completed templates are returned to me. 4.5 Week 4 October 5 - October 11 • Using ScummVM: – Game settings – Keyboard shortcuts • Installing ScummVM: – Platform-specific installation guides as completed templates are returned to me 4.6 Week 5 October 12 - October 18 • Advanced options: – Cloud and LAN – Control Mapping • Installing ScummVM: – Platform-specific installation guides as completed templates are returned to me 4.7

Al otro lado de la habitación hay una salida que da al almacén, pero la puerta está cerrada con un candado. Cogemos el palo de golf de George del paragüero junto a la puerta principal y luego lo usamos sobre el candado para apalancarlo y romperlo. Una vez dentro del almacén, empujamos el armario para bloquear la puerta. La única salida de la habitación está arriba, así que hay que trepar por el armario y una vez arriba pasar través del agujero en el techo agarrándose al borde. Después que Anna María se reúne con George, el ascensor de enfrente empieza a descender. Mientras Anna María sujeta la puerta, utilizamos el palo de golf para bloquearla. Como por la puerta de debajo de las escaleras no se puede salir, nos dirigimos a la derecha del ascensor y con la ayuda de Anna María arrancamos la reja de metal de la pared. Tiramos del aire acondicionado y lo llevamos arrastrando hasta el ascen- sor. Lo colocamos de forma que sujete la puerta para así poder recuperar el palo de golf.

    Game Narrative Review ==================== Your Name: Dylan Valev Your School: Worcester Polytechnic Institute Your email: [email protected] Month/Year you submitted this review: December 2019 ==================== Game: Minit Platforms: PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, Macintosh operating systems Genre: Adventure Release Date: April 3rd, 2018 Developer: Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Jukio Kallio, and Dominik Johann Publisher: Devolver Digital Game Writer/Creative Director/Narrative Designer: Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, Jukio Kallio, and Dominik Johann Overview The following sixty seconds are one of many days lived by the player character. In Minit, you control a protagonist who is bound by a curse that makes days last only a mere minute. In this action-adventure game, you are stuck in an endless loop for an unknown amount of time and must find a way to break the curse, making the most of every moment in each day. There’s no time to waste. 1. The player dashes out of their home. 2. Outside, they hesitate. Left, or right? 3. Stupid. Of course it’s the left. 4. They rush past their mailbox. They have no time to read mail, they’ve already wasted a second thinking. 5. The player reaches their garden. The two wide rows are all empty except for one neglected plant. No time to tend to that now. 6. A row of ferns blocks their path- these have got to go, and fast. 7. Sword readily in hand, the player hacks the obstacle away. 8. Resheathing the weapon, they resume their hurried stride. 9.

  • Lucasarts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games
    LucasArts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games: The True Secret of Monkey Island by Cameron Warren 5056794 for STS 145 Winter 2003 March 18, 2003 2 The history of computer adventure gaming is a long one, dating back to the first visits of Will Crowther to the Mammoth Caves back in the 1960s and 1970s (Jerz). How then did a wannabe pirate with a preposterous name manage to hijack the original computer game genre, starring in some of the most memorable adventures ever to grace the personal computer? Is it the yearning of game players to participate in swashbuckling adventures? The allure of life as a pirate? A craving to be on the high seas? Strangely enough, the Monkey Island series of games by LucasArts satisfies none of these desires; it manages to keep the attention of gamers through an admirable mix of humorous dialogue and inventive puzzles. The strength of this formula has allowed the Monkey Island series, along with the other varied adventure game offerings from LucasArts, to remain a viable alternative in a computer game marketplace increasingly filled with big- budget first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Indeed, the LucasArts adventure games are the last stronghold of adventure gaming in America. What has allowed LucasArts to create games that continue to be successful in a genre that has floundered so much in recent years? The solution to this problem is found through examining the history of Monkey Island. LucasArts’ secret to success is the combination of tradition and evolution. With each successive title, Monkey Island has made significant strides in technology, while at the same time staying true to a basic gameplay formula.

  • MMPX Style-Preserving Pixel Art Magnification
    Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques Vol. 10, No. 2, 2021 https://jcgt.org MMPX Style-Preserving Pixel-Art Magnification Morgan McGuire Mara Gagiu University of Waterloo & NVIDIA University of Waterloo (a) Input Image (b) Magnified 2× with Nearest (c) Magnified 2× with MMPX Figure 1. (a) Pixel art combining sprites, text, and UI elements (b) magnified with nearest- neighbor filtering becomes blocky relative to the original pixel size; (c) MMPX filtering re- fines lines, curves, and patterns for the new resolution, while mostly preserving the palette, transparency, and shape aspects of the original artwork. Input derived from Oryx Design Lab licensed sprites https://www.oryxdesignlab.com/products/16-bit- fantasy-tileset Abstract We present MMPX, an efficient filter for magnifying pixel art, such as 8- and 16-bit era video-game sprites, fonts, and screen images, by a factor of two in each dimension. MMPX preserves art style, attempting to predict what the artist would have produced if working at a larger scale but within the same technical constraints. Pixel-art magnification enables the displaying of classic games and new retro-styled ones on modern screens at runtime, provides high-quality scaling and rotation of sprites and raster- font glyphs through precomputation at load time, and accelerates content-creation workflow. MMPX reconstructs curves, diagonal lines, and sharp corners while preserving the ex- act palette, transparency, and single-pixel features. For general pixel art, it can often pre- serve more aspects of the original art style than previous magnification filters such as nearest- neighbor, bilinear, HQX, XBR, and EPX. In specific cases and applications, other filters will be better.
