SCI Development Tools / Re: Decompiler, new SCI Studio

In any event, part of the reason the SCI community is on life support is because it spends most of its time not learning from its past and being critical (harshly so, sometimes).

SCI Development Tools / Decompiler, new SCI Studio (in development)

« on: January 04, 2007, 03:39:09 PM »

Way before, I was checking out this: http://www.bripro.com/oldnews.php

A relevant quote: "It's a shame I didn't have my decompiler back when I recoded the entire SCI0 and SCI1 class systems from bytecode into high level scripts manually."

This from a guy who doesn't then bother to release the thing for the rest of the community. Great guy. Anyway, for those curious, I've started work on a new decompiler for SCI. I've had to do all this mostly from scratch and I'm sure it's not perfect.

I should have something ready to go pretty quick, though. Probably by the end of this month.

I will be releasing this as open source. I'm also re-doing SCI Studio (well, something like it) in C#. That won't be available at the end of the month, but it will be available and it will be fully open source. In fact, I'd like to get various people working on it so it will go up on sourceforge pretty quick. I'll post the link once there. I think .NET will give provide a lot more opportunities in terms of the tool. I'd also like to incorporate the decompiler but for now they're separate.

Again, I'll post links soon but I at least wanted to make a semi-official announcment for those that might be interested or want to help out.
