Je me réfère souvent à #SCUMM quand je parle de mon moteur de point and click…

Eh bah ce matin, j'ai aussi implémenté un équivalent de #iMUSE, le moteur sonore des vieux #LucasArts qui permettait de faire varier la musique en douceur selon l'endroit où se trouvait le personnage. C'est pas grand chose, mais c'est top pour créer des ambiances.
