ENIGMA Development Environment

I started trying to implement the action functions but the enigma plugin doesn't write out the correct parameters atm. For resources it doesn't write the resource name, and for string parameters it doesn't put the "" around it.
I will try and figure out whats wrong but just a heads up

What about javaHelp? It looks similar to the kind of chm help system, with search etc and cross platform. The files are just html, so they can be parsed by an xml library for LGM function list.
Plus all the formatting tags of html, can have images etc

@Brett - well yes and no, no (atm) if your expecting enigma to compile and run iphone games in widnows games automatically, but theoretically it is possible as it produces all the code you need, so if you can compile that with an iphone toolchain it *should* work. Problem is winchain doesn't work for iphoneOS 2+, there is also compiling it on the iphone itself but this also comes with alot of problems and is slow.
I would recommend testing enigma iphone projects using the android support then either borrowing someones mac or using VMware to finally compile for iphone.
Unless someone can fine a better way ofc

Why is it stretched like that?

Because the window size is set to the size of the iphone screen, so the room is scaled to fit into the window, just like when you resize the GM window, if you resized the gm window to the exact dimensions of the iphone it would look exactly like that But if you are targeting iphone its best to use a view set to the size of the iphone screen so that it won't scale and will look normal.

I thought Apple doesn't allow intermediary wrappers or something like that for iOS apps?

They are very vague, I am tempted to submit and enigma app and see what they say, but unity3d's plan B for iphone development(http://blogs.unity3d.com/2010/07/02/unity-and-ios-4-0-update-iii/) was to do something very similar to what enigma does. The enigma part that comes with the game is just a c++ library and the code generated is all c++, I don't see how they could tell that it was written in enigma. If it wasn't allowed would that mean you weren't allowed to use a perfectly normal library of c++ functions :/ Unity apps are still being accepted to the app store also. But we will just have to see

I will install logmein and just tell me when you are around and I can give you all the time you need to work on this. I will recheck out to a different directory so you can work from there as my current source is not stable enough to be committed to svn.

Currently on the iphone all textures seem to appear white:


Which is really hard to debug and see whats going on. I will try and get the Cocoa target to use the OpenglES renderer instead of the standard to check if its an iphone specific problem.

Thank yeah i did eventually manage to fix that one but it was just replaced by another:

After a while of looking through the mac headers etc I realise I am completely lost :/
Any help is greatly appreciated

As for the graphical side of things I managed to get cocoa and opengl working

Seems to work pretty well, now time to work on input and window functions.

I have only made 2 changes to the compiler to get it to compile and run on mac:
OS_Switchboard.h:

#define TARGET_PLATFORM_NAME "ENIGMA_WS_COCOA"

+  #define TARGET_PLATFORM_ID   OS_MACOSX

Otherwise it will try and look for the windows headers :/
Also:
gcc_backend.cpp:

-    int failing = better_system(cpath = "cpp", "-dM -x c++ -E blank.txt", ">", "defines.txt");

+    int failing = better_system(cpath = "cpp", "-dM -xc++ -E blank.txt", ">", "defines.txt");

That space makes cpp makes cpp think c++ is a directory :/ Must be an error with cpp on mac as gcc works fine with the space :s

Anyway onto the error..
Enigma finds make/cpp/gcc fine and fills the defines.txt file correctly. But then engima throws out:

Opening ENIGMA for parse...
ERROR in parsing engine file: this is the worst thing that could have happened within the first few seconds of compile.

Anyway I will continue working on the cocoa part of the engine

You can make lgm into an exe using an exe wrapper tool, if lgm is set to get the game from the parameter than it will work.
