Two changes from Pastel Chime 3 (likely to make the executables
incompatible):
- SystemService.XXX function
- PartsEngine.Update() has two dummy string parameters
Marking Rance Quest and Rance Quest Magnum as supported.
I was able to clear Rance Quest Magnum Integrated Edition (TADA patch
v3.86E) without any issues.
I have only played the first few quests of the original Rance Quest, but
I think it is safe to say that it works.
Fixes#209.
As far as I'm aware, the only unimplemented functionality is Y-rotations
of parts objects, which is only used for some screen transition
animations. I was able to clear the game without issue.
== Handles
As a general pattern, these libraries have an interface based on integer
handles allocated by Open() and released by Close(); in the AliceSoft's
implementation, handles are pointers to internal objects. Note that:
* 0 is used to represent an invalid handle, and
* Small numbers cannot be handles. For example, Mamanyonyo has code that
treats an integer as a CG number if it is less than 10000, and as a
surface handle otherwise.
In this patch, handles are generated using id_pool.h functions. In order
to achieve the above, the interface is extended so that the minimum ID
value can be specified (the `base` parameter of id_pool_init()).
== Graphics System
Surface objects (implemented in vmSurface.[ch]) plays a central role in
Mamanyonyo's graphics system, and the sprite system (vmSprite.c) is
implemented on top of it. vmSprite.c uses scene.h functions.
== vmChrLoader and vmMapLoader
Since Mamanyonyo's character data format is the same as Widenyo's,
the ChrLoader code has been refactored and used from vmChrLoader.c.
On the other hand, MapLoader and vmMapLoader do not share code because
the map file format is different from Widenyo.
