SCI Resources

Data used by SCI is mainly stored in several types of resources.

SCI0 Resources

The resource types of SCI0 can be roughly grouped into four sets:

• VIEW - Graphics
• PICTURE - Graphics
• SCRIPT - Logic
• TEXT - (Text resources are series of ASCII strings)
• VOCAB - Vocab
• SOUND - Sound
• SCRIPT - Logic
• FONT - Graphics
• CURSOR - Graphics
• PATCH - Sound

During the game interpreter loads and unloads these resources in order game to function. These resources are stored within RESOURCE.00* FILES.

All SCI Resources

Additional resource types were added with later versions of the engine.
