I'm utterly retarded when it comes to any kind of programming so I am afraid I have nothing to contribute to the project. Just wanted to say I'm really excited about ENIGMA and appreciate the effort you guys put in. Not only for myself - a lot of GM users will love this.
GM is ofc very well suited for (and aimed at) non-programmers; more artistic/creative people who want a reasonably manageable tool to work with. I think a lot of them (including me) often are quite passionate about there creations, and would really appreciate optimizations like improved speed (loading times in particular), exe size and security. We have been forced to either just suck it up or to move on to a real, full blown programming languange like C++ or maybe Java and yeah.. that's a pretty big leap, especially considering most of us are not really technical to begin with.
I made a basic gui/room in ENIGMA just to compare it with GM. GM exe: 2.15 MB, ENIGMA exe: 636 kB (and 374 kB UPX'd, which is cool). That is a pretty huge improvement. Much faster loading too.
Anyway, thank you. If I could contribute to the project, I would.
Btw, I really like the interface too.

Ideally, you should use -Wall, -s, -O, -O1, -O2, -O3, and -Os at the same time.

Retro-- Most of those are mutually exclusive Score_-- It gets about 300 KB with -Os, I believe. I can probably do some custom optimization to help that when the time comes. Anyway, essay'ing to do, ciao.

I hadn't realized you were still alive, Dave. I haven't heard from you in 204 days, 9 hours, 19 minutes, and 43 seconds; but who's counting?

I don't believe I'll ever let it. A lot's changed since you've been here. Kinda makes me miss the old days. But, alas, progress is good. We're still in beta, if you want something to laugh about. But we're running out of reasons to be and things to blame on being in beta, so maybe we'll just call it a version after this. *shrug*
...Nah, this has always been the plan. Although that C parser I wrote took a bit longer than anticipated. Along with, well, pretty much all the other well-done components. I'm quite happy with the way things have been turning out... Bit more to organize, but yeah.
Anyway, how've you been?
