Some of you may find this interesting: Ron Gilbert gave a Maniac Mansion post-mortem at the Game Developers Conference last week and a couple of his slides showed some of the original Maniac Mansion scripts written in the SCUMM syntax.
How the clock in the mansion living room ticks:
Code:
script clock-tick {
do {
clock-state = not clock-state
object living-room-clock state clock-state
play-sound clock-tick
break-here 60
}
}
A cut-scene between Nurse Edna and Weird Ed:
Code:
cut-scene {
...
actor nurse-edna in-room edna-bedroom at 60,20
camera-follow nurse-edna
actor nurse-edna walk-to 30,20
wait-for-actor nurse-edna
say-line nurse-edna "WHATS'S YOUR POINT ED!!!"
wait-for-talking nurse-edna
...
