→‎Steps: Update the "configure" instruction. typos.
# Add <tt>engines/quux/quux.h</tt> and <tt>engines/quux/quux.cpp</tt>; this will contain your Engine subclass (or at least parts of it). It will also contain the plugin interface code (more on that in the next section).
# Modify <tt>engines/</tt> by adding your engine. It should be clear what to do by looking at what is done for the other engines there.
# Modify <tt>configure</tt>; you'll have to add your engine in multiple placesby adding a new add_engine line. Again, just check out what is done for the existing engines.
# Modify <tt>base/plugins.cpp</tt>; in particular, you have to add your engine to the list in PluginManager::loadPlugins.
=== File name conventions ===
Since of the course of its existanceexistence, many people will have to deal with the source code of a given engine (be it to fix bugs in it, modify it to still compile after changes made to tbe backend code, or to simply add new functionality), it is useful to adhere to various conventions used throughout all engines. Besides source code conventions (see [[Code Formatting Conventions]]), this affects filenames. We suggest you use the following names for specific parts of your engine:
{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100%
Important: If you're using the ScummVM GUI (g_gui and stuff) you have always to call g_gui.handleScreenChanged() if you recived received a OSystem::EVENT_SCREEN_CHANGED event, else it could be that your gui looks strange or even crashes ScummVM.
