Sierra Creative Interpreter Script Compiler

The SCI Script Compiler is a command-line tool for compiling SCI game scripts into resources that can be used to build new SCI engine games or patch existing Sierra SCI games.

This project is a work in progress, and the interface is subject to change. Contributions and feedback are welcome!

🚀 Features

• Compiles SCI scripts into game-compatible resources.
• Intended to support Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Forked from the original Sierra Creative Interpreter Script Compiler by Digital Alchemy and Daniel Arnold (Dhel).
• Actively developed with significant improvements and a refactored codebase.

📦 Installation & Compilation

This project uses Bazel for building. To get started:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/your-repo.git
cd your-repo

2. Install Bazel

Follow the instructions on the Bazel website to install Bazel for your system.

3. Build the Compiler

Run the following command:

bazel build //scic/frontend:scic

This will generate the compiler binary in ./bazel-bin/scic/frontend/scic. You can call it directly from there.

📖 Usage

(Coming soon: Detailed usage examples and documentation!)

The basic workflow involves running:

./bazel-bin/scic/frontend/scic -G <sci_1_1.sh header> -I <include path> -o <output directory> <input_scripts...> 

More details will be added as the interface stabilizes.

🛠️ Roadmap

We are working on:

• Improving usability and command-line options.
• Improving compatibility with existing SCICompanion code.
• Adding better error handling and diagnostics.
• Documentation and example projects.
