ScummVM is a free and open-source software project aimed at re-implementing the engines used by classic point-and-click adventure games, allowing them to be played on modern systems. One of the games supported by ScummVM is Soltys, a Polish adventure game released in 1995. Soltys was developed using the AGDS engine, which was created by a Polish company called LK Avalon. However, the AGDS engine is no longer supported by modern operating systems, making it difficult to play Soltys on modern computers. This is where ScummVM comes in - by reverse-engineering the AGDS engine and re-implementing it in a modern programming language, ScummVM allows Soltys (and other AGDS-based games) to be played on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and even some game consoles.
In order to re-implement the AGDS engine, the ScummVM team had to study the original engine and figure out how it worked. They then had to write new code that replicated the behavior of the original engine, while also taking advantage of modern programming techniques and APIs. This process involved not only writing new code, but also reverse-engineering the file formats used by Soltys and other AGDS games, as well as developing tools to assist with the translation and localization of the game's text. The end result is a faithful recreation of the AGDS engine that allows players to enjoy Soltys (and other AGDS-based games) on modern systems, while also preserving these classic games for future generations to enjoy.
