Dream.In.Code _ Other Languages _ SCUMM language

Posted by: paperclipmuffin 28 Jun, 2009 - 01:07 AM

Hi all,

I am trying desperately to figure out how the SCUMM programming language works. As LucasArts still keeps it a closely guarded secret, it's pretty difficult. I managed to find a piece of SCUMM code here: http://www.justadventure.com/articles/Engines/SCUMM/SCUMM.shtm It says it was decompiled from "The curse of monkey island"(???????).

Does anyone know how that would have been decompiled?

Thanks in advance,

Hoping for replies.

Someone has studied the SCUMM bytecode and made some intelligent deductions. Thus, it's not guaranteed a perfect decompilation, it's a probable one.
