Editing SCUMM (section)

== Reimplementation ==
=== Compiler ===
ScummC is a set of tools (including a script and a costume compiler, a walkboxes editor, charset, graphics, audio and MIDI tools), able to compile its own [[JavaScript]]-like language into SCUMM v6 [[bytecode]], runnable as is in [[ScummVM]]. It allows anyone with the needed skills to create new and original SCUMM games, with features on par with ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]'' and ''[[Sam & Max Hit the Road]]''.<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last=Bedel |first=Alban |title=ScummC - A Scumm Compiler |date=2023-01-26 |url=https://github.com/AlbanBedel/scummc |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904033643/https://github.com/AlbanBedel/scummc |access-date=2023-02-21 |archive-date=2015-09-04}}</ref>

A similar project named ScummGEN aims to achieve the same thing, with user-friendly tools.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ScummGEN |url=https://code.google.com/archive/p/scummgen |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100716192552/http://code.google.com/p/scummgen/ |archive-date=2010-07-16 |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=[[Google Code]]}}</ref>

Scummbler is a compiler for SCUMM bytecode, for versions 3 to 5 of the SCUMM engine.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dougal Myers |first=Laurence |title=Scummbler |url=http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummbler/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140802035037/http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummbler |archive-date=2014-08-02 |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=JestarJokin.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Scummbler |url=https://bitbucket.org/jestar_jokin/scummbler |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=[[BitBucket]]}}</ref> It uses scripts decompiled from the original game files, retrieved using a combination of an unpacking tool like ScummPacker<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dougal Myers |first=Laurence |title=ScummPacker |url=http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummpacker/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131108013126/http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummpacker |archive-date=2013-11-08 |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=JestarJokin.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ScummPacker |url=https://bitbucket.org/jestar_jokin/scummpacker |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=[[BitBucket]]}}</ref> (also by the author of Scummbler), and the ''descumm'' tool from ScummVM. These scripts can be re-inserted into the original game files, making it useful for modifying existing games, such as for translation. Also available are an image encoder-decoder,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dougal Myers |first=Laurence |title=SCUMM Image Encoder |url=http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummimg/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150215134405/http://jestarjokin.net/apps/scummimg |archive-date=2015-02-15 |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=JestarJokin.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Scumm Image Encoder |url=https://bitbucket.org/jestar_jokin/scumm-image-encoder |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=[[BitBucket]]}}</ref> and a tool to assist in mapping speech files to text.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dougal Myers |first=Laurence |title=ScummSpeaks |url=http://www.jestarjokin.net/apps/scummspeaks/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150215134437/http://jestarjokin.net/apps/scummspeaks |archive-date=2015-02-15 |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=JestarJokin.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ScummSpeaks |url=https://bitbucket.org/jestar_jokin/scummspeaks/src/master/ |access-date=2023-02-21 |website=[[BitBucket]]}}</ref>

=== Interpreters ===
[[ScummVM]] is a [[free software|free]] and [[open source software]] project to make a portable, [[Simple DirectMedia Layer]] (SDL) library-based SCUMM-engine client which allows many of the SCUMM-engine games to be played on systems where the original versions will not work or have trouble operating, including modern [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[Macintosh]] systems, [[Linux]] (including portable handhelds—[[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[GP2X]], [[GP2X Wiz]], [[Maemo]], etc.), [[BeOS]]-[[Haiku (operating system)|Haiku]], [[AmigaOS]] (3.x, 4.0, and its clones [[MorphOS]] and [[AROS]]), [[Atari TOS]] (including its successors—[[EmuTOS]], [[MagiC]], [[FreeMiNT]] etc.), [[Palm OS]], [[Windows Mobile]] ([[Pocket PC]]), [[Dreamcast]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation Portable]], [[Nintendo DS]], [[Wii]], [[Symbian]] (SeriesXX and UIQ), [[iOS]] ([[iPad]], [[iPhone]], [[iPod Touch]]), [[webOS]] and [[QNX]]-[[BlackBerry PlayBook|Playbook]] platforms.<ref>[http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Platforms SCUMMVM compatibility list] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615021407/http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Platforms |date=2006-06-15}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=February 2023}}

{{not a typo|scvm}} is a SCUMM interpreter developed by the ScummC author.<ref name=":0" /> As of April 2008, it is in a prototype state, and is meant to become a script debugger for ScummC development. hiscumm is an attempt to port {{not a typo|scvm}} and some bits of ScummVM to the [[Haxe]] platform, to produce an interpreter with an [[Adobe Flash]] backend.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Urquhart |first=James |date=2008-03-07 |title=What not to write in haXe, Part II |url=http://www.cuppadev.co.uk/2008/03/what-not-to-write-in-haxe-part-ii/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150519170256/http://www.cuppadev.co.uk/2008/03/what-not-to-write-in-haxe-part-ii/ |archive-date=2015-05-19 |website=CuppaDev}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Urquhart|first=James|title=jamesu/hiscumm|date=2019-02-11|url=https://github.com/jamesu/hiscumm|access-date=2021-03-19}}</ref>
