Ludvig Strigeus (born January 15, 1981) is a Swedish computer programmer.
ScummVM
Strigeus reverse engineered an interpreter for running the early 1990s LucasArts adventure games running on the SCUMM engine concurrently with a similar project by Vincent Hamm. The two programmers consolidated their work into the open source adventure game interpreter ScummVM, which was initially released in 2001.
He also created SimonVM, an interpreter that ran the Simon the Sorcerer games running on the AGOS engine. The ScummVM team opted to expand the project to run point-and-click graphic adventure games beyond those running on SCUMM. SimonVM was merged into ScummVM on April 12, 2002.
OpenTTD
On March 6, 2004, Strigeus released OpenTTD, a reverse engineered open source remake and expansion of the 1994 Microprose business simulation video game Transport Tycoon.
Transport Tycoon was developed using assembly language, which is not easily portable to other platforms, so OpenTTD was created in C to increase portability. OpenTTD was converted to use C++ in 2007.
μTorrent
On September 18, 2005, Ludvig Strigeus released μTorrent, a closed source client to facilitate peer-to-peer file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol.
On December 7, 2006, μTorrent was purchased by BitTorrent, Inc., the company that maintained the BitTorrent client and its associated protocol.
