and removed some of the references to global variables.
At this point I believe everything in the main game engine has been moved
into classes - not necessarily the correct ones, but still... However,
there is some stuff in the driver directory that need to be taken care of
as well.
svn-id: r11207
Renamed the resource manager's open/close methods openResource() and
closeResource() to avoid confusion. (It was I who originally shortened
their names to open() and close(), but I've changed my mind now.)
Moved more stuff into Sword2Engine.

touches a lot of the code, of course, and adds yet another global variable
(temporarily, I hope), but everything still seems to work.
Knock on wood.

debugging levels). This needs further cleanups, but I believe I have
reached a stable point where I can commit it without too much anxiety.
svn-id: r10502
trivial to actually play the Smacker voice-overs, but I think the sound
code needs a bit more cleaning up first. (I'm pretty sure it isn't
alignment-safe, and it might not be endian-safe either.)
svn-id: r10123
available, since they are separate from the Smacker files themselves.
Next step will be to play the voice-over sounds as well, and to make sure
subtitles settings etc. are taken into account (if they aren't already).

already reached its scroll target. This keeps BS2 from using all available
CPU time all of the time.
It may still be that we need a mechanism for throttling the frame rate when
the scene is moving towards a scroll target, but my computer isn't really
fast enough to test that.
Two other bugs fixed in the process:
* I think the last frame of the render cycle was rendered, but not
displayed. If so, that should be fixed now.
* I discovered that there are cases where we do need to clear the screen
(e.g. at the "Meanwhile..." message when George has found out about the
Glease Gallery), so I've re-enabled the function and disabled it in the
render cycle.
svn-id: r9904
block surfaces. (A block surface is a 64x64 tile of a parallax layer.)
I've also done a few things to try and optimize the drawing:
* The back buffer is no longer cleared between frames. This may cause
regressions, but I do believe that the entire picture area is always
completely re-rendered for each frame.
As a result of this, the menu code is now responsible for clearing the
icon areas itself.
* A few unnecessary copy_rect() calls were commented out in favor of one
big copy_rect() in ServiceWindows().
* Completely opaque block surfaces are copied with memcpy(), one line at a
time.
Unless we manage to add intelligent screen redrawing, I don't think it will
get that much faster than this, though there is some unnecessary data
copying in DrawSprite() that could be removed.
And the game is still a terrible CPU hog. I believe the animation runs at
approximately 12 fps. If there's still time left, it will pump out further
frames to get smooth scrolling. We ought to put a cap on that, and if it
has already reached the scroll target it should sleep for the rest of the
render cycle.

sprites are drawn, but I think that's how it should be.
1: No bells or whistles.
2: This setting adds sprite blending, e.g. the smoke at the docks or the
display cases at the Glease Gallery.
3: This setting adds light map support, e.g. when walking under the shack
at the docks.
4: This setting adds better scaling algorithms.
The first three settings should work fine now. In fact, the third setting
is what we used to implement. The fourth setting still needs work and
testing. I've added code for downscaling case, but frankly I'm not
convinced the result is any better than with the simpler scaler. I usually
can't even tell the difference.
Of course, my translation of the original code could very well be buggy.
svn-id: r9867
unnecessary stuff from our own Surface class. The former allows the in-game
dialogs to at least sort of work, and the latter gained me a few frames per
second, according to the built-in FPS counter.
