Candy Land

Developer: ImageBuilder
Publisher: Hasbro Interactive
Platforms:Windows

Candy Land is a simulation game developed by ImageBuilder Software, Inc. and published by Hasbro Interactive, Inc. in 1998.


File Formats

Images

Images are contained in .MMP archives. These archives are documented here, here and here. It is recommended to extract them with Aluigi's Millionaire3 script.

Extraction should result in a series of named files, most or all with the .PICT extension. Open them in TiledGGD to take a look.

These .PICT files will come in several different variations:

  • Uncompressed: Images that come in uncompressed, 32 bits/pixel ARGB format. You can convert them into PNG with this Python script by Racoon Sam (which has comments added by myself).
  • Transparency Compressed: Images with a "swirled" appearance, despite having recognizable aspects. Their compression is a type of transparency-only compression. You can convert them into PNG with this Python script, also by Raccoon Sam.
  • Compressed: Compressed images whose compression type is unknown.
  • "Gray" Uncompressed: Uncompressed images with a gray appearance. Their image data is 8 bits/pixel with a 4 bytes/color RGB header.

View a visual example of all of these formats here.

Sounds

Sounds are contained in .MMS archives, which are documented here. They can also be extracted with the Millionaire3 script. The result of extracting should be .AIF files.

These .AIF files are not your "standard" .AIF files, however, and can't be played in an audio player. Their format is unknown, but if you import them as raw data into Audacity as Signed 8-bit PCM and turn the sample rate way down, you should hear something recognizable.

Films

.MMF files contain a single .flm file. Curiously, they are not true FMVs/videos like you would expect. Instead, they are a container format for image and sound files. Some of the image files are uncompressed and some are transparency compressed. It is not yet possible to extract these individually
