ENIGMA Development Environment

You don't think legal restrictions is a way of controlling people's minds? What about the doctor who wants to practice, but can't get a license because his approach is too radical/progressive? What about the guy who wants to make an escape pod but can't because it doesn't pass emissions inspections? What about the poor baker who just wants to make food for people but can't afford it because a) he's being taxed out the wazoo to fund regulation politicians, and b) money's not worth a dime because it's been hyperinflated to senselessness (e.g. Zimbabwe)?

Besides, regulations and "legal restrictions" can naturally occur in a Free Market. Ever heard of Underwriter Laboratories (UL)?

corporation != company/firm. Corporation means there's government involvement, hence why they're able to reach every cm of earth/water/space.

How is government controlling people (if that were even possible) an escape pod? Why do we care enough about what happens enough to implement socialism if we're fucked either way? Why not just leave it up to the people, let them think or not think for themselves. Heaven forbid one of them finally develop a brain and actually make progress in civilization. If we just control people, even that's not possible.

Since both programs are under heavy development right now, and the LGM version used isn't even beta, we don't mind breaking compatibility with each other. In the future, as with in the past with LGM betas and releases, any changes that break compatibility are documented and usually warrant a new version (e.g. the next beta). This way, we can target specific releases/betas and develop for them.

graceful degradation is basically legacy support and adds bulk to support archaic features that should have been broken in the first place. We do utilize it in some places (the entire Versioning branch is aimed at legacy support of GM6 while upgrading to GM8), but for the most part, plugin developers should understand that they should target a specific release/beta, much like Firefox, and scramble to fix things when I announce features that may break plugins.

Are you asking me?

Yes.

That's great! Is there an explanation available in English?

Code::Blocks Cross Compilers setup
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Code::Blocks_and_Cross_Compilers

Followed that. Now I supposedly have the cross compiler set up, but I don't know how to use it. I tried linux build, but it complains ""Game - lin-build" uses an invalid compiler. Skipping..." if I choose lin-build, and it complains that it can't find windows.h if I use "win-build".

java -jar lgm16b4.jar

Seems like in order to compile for Windows, I have to actually be on Windows. As for distributing GM6s or EGMs, that kinda defeats the purpose of "distribution", as the user would also have to have ENIGMA installed. That's like requiring everyone who wants to play a GM game to have GM installed.
I thought there was supposed to be some semblance of cross-platform here.

Eh, I'm going back to my Java jars.
