[What SCUMM actually looked like]

Awesome, thank you for this amazing analysis

This is actually very similiar to what I've tried doing in my project (nutcracker) also.

(it's available here in case you would like to have a look:

https://github.com/BLooperZ/nutcracker#decompile-game-script)

which is currently able to parse v3-v8 (+ humongous entertainment games) (v3 and v4 currently not exposed in CLI)

my sources were the documents published by Aric Wilmunder and the windex-enabled demos (MI2 + Putt Putt)

 

I still working on figuring how to correctly transform the control flow to structured (specifically case..of and if..else)

 

also, I would like to add some more points I first learned from the short SCUMM code sample included in FT remastered (IIRC)

(you might already saw this, but they weren't written here yet)

- Indentation was done with TAB characters

- Comments are added with semicolon

 

Also, I haven't managed to figure out how the instructions for using colon, plus and comma in say-line until your example, so thanks again.

It was ripped from "Ultimate Talkie Edition"😅,

Now double checked for the real DOS CD release, it wasn't there, sorry

Actually, Spiffy as shown in the game's back cover is indeed found in the released game's resources (at least VGA version), it's room 13
