ENIGMA Development Environment

Ah, my fix was just for saving + loading with constants. LGM doesn't actually freeze that much on Linux. I can still post the jar if you want.

Are you sure that LGM is getting enough memory on Windows?

As a point of reference, I've never had LGM crash during either of the 2 Ludum Dares I did (so, 2 * 48h).

Really cool! RPG is a very ambitious genre for such competitions. I wish you the best of luck. Looks really good!

Glad you liked it! It was in fact a little too ambitious, but I'm glad I tried it!

1) The enemy sometimes doesn't do anything in it's turn. It shows in console that it tries to select spell -1. I guess it could be intentional?
2) There are no health for enemies and especially boss, so I don't know how close I am to killing it. Like I literally fired 25 rays and 10 fireballs and it still didn't die. I tried to figure its health out from the massages in the console, but couldn't. Then, *spoiler alert*, I found out that I was meant to die to it. But because it does so little damage, sometimes it skips its turn and the there are many delays in the fight, it took like 5 minutes for me to die.
3) In one battle I got stuck on a rock/tree/battle area border combo. So I couldn't move.

Thanks for your suggestions! I've actually updated the binary with a few fixes.

1. Yes, the enemy doing nothing was intentional. The slimes were supposed to be fairly passive (there were supposed to be a lot more enemies).
2. A huge point of confusion for people playing this was that certain spells were too weak to hurt certain enemies. Note that you *can* beat any fight in the game. You're not expected to lose any fight  ---but if you haven't leveled then some fights might be impossible.
3. This is a nasty collision bug. The update fixes it.

I've also sped up the battle speed, and given a damage boost for the "boss" fights.

I'm not planning on continuing to work on this, but the source is available. Might be a good example of the kinds of games ENIGMA is capable of!

A bit LTTP, but the reason I originally chose to use ENIGMA was that it was easy (following the README) to get the source, run make, get LGM, and then open a game in the editor (in my case Iji). Compiling was harder, but I found it pretty easy to hack on.

For a project the size of LGM + ENIGMA, it's structured pretty well.

Figured it out. The reason The Sun and Moon doesn't work is because constants aren't handled properly in ENIGMA currently.



There are some other playability bugs, but this at least gets you to level 1.

Thanks, I'll add in the changes you mentioned. You might want to hold off on the segfault review; I've done some local changes that affect how memory is accessed.

Got it to parse a lot faster: https://github.com/sorlok/enigma-dev/blob/bd8342b92630d241367579e2b7932570d3ca3597/ENIGMAsystem/SHELL/Universal_System/gif_format.cpp

I'm currently running it through a variety of animated GIFs to try to find cases where it crashes. Once that's done, I'll make the pull request.

I'm not sure how bad GIF is about it, but APNG supports some fifty million methods. (It's not actually that bad; it just caught us by surprise and was not a welcome work task.)

GIF supports 4 methods: "clear", "previous image", "previous and restore", and another one I can't recall. They're all simple, and shouldn't be a problem.

I know that previously we didn't check for errors, even if the image_load_ functions returned them. But now it seems we do.

I'll have a look and see what crashes; it might be a divide-by-zero, actually (since the convention when loading GIFs is to set the subimage_count to 0). Will get back to you on this.
