Please note: Open Eggbert is specifically focused on recreating Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games. It does not include other Blupi games.

# To collect all available knowledge related to the games Speedy Blupi/Eggbert
# To create the ultimate specification of Speedy Blupi game.
# To reimplement the original Speedy Blupi game engine
# To reverse engineer the origin Speedy Blupi game engine (EXE or XAP files) ''This has the purpose to find out, how Speedy Blupi engine works in detail.''
# To create free replacements of game assets (MIDI music, WAV sounds, BMP graphics)
# To specify and implement new features with comparison to Speedy Blupi I/II
