From ENIGMA

This user is an Administrator.

Hello, I am Goombert, I like to program games usually strategy games, or shooters, just as much as I love to play games. I am currently a lead developer of the project, I work on ENIGMA's engine a lot as well and have contributed a Box2D physics engine and quite a few other things, and I am also the lead Administrator for this Wiki. I am fluent in many programming languages, my preferred language is Delphi, however I am able to adapt to any project very easily and I am quite a tenacious and devoted contributor.

Suggestions

1. surface_get_buffer get the backbuffer of a surface in a ds_grid, could speed up draw_get_pixel and surface_get_pixel
2. terrain_ with geometric mipmapping api
3. voxel alternative graphics system and hardware accelerated volumetric rendering API
4. path branching api
5. vertex/index buffer access api or something similar for animation and realtime deformations, eg. destructible terrain
6. 2d/3d conversion api, based on Yourself's scripts

Things to do

1. figure out whats causing that ai tutorial gmx to crash upon first load
2. document Instance_and_Motion_Functions and mention ISO C99 for the collision functions
3. finish directsound so it plays mp3 and midi
4. reduce portable zip size
5. implement automatic updates
6. fix box2d docs with new wake parameter for forces
