As the title says. Hi, folks!
I've been messing up with Game Maker for a while, without actually doing anything playable with it. Lately, I was struggling with its lousy PNG transparency support. Google sent me on yet another Game Maker fan page, where I found, to my great surprise, a link to Enigma. So here I am.
Sadly I'm close to total noobiness when it comes to C++ and actual code, so I can't say I've understood all the technical stuff I've seen on your website. Thus I gave a try to Enigma, and I have to say I'm quite impressed by the result (but sadly some functions of the GM project I openened weren't supported). Seems like you guys were tired to wait for Game Maker 8 and decided to do something. I'm really looking forward to your next releases.
Keep up the great work! (did the fact I joined the forum make Josh feel all fuzzy?)

Hey, Yep, something like that : http://glog.yoyogames.com/?p=385. Seems like I've done something wrong though, I've got strange glitches with my sprite... So I ended up using good ol' gif for now, I definitely still need to improve my GML skills. Is there a plan to add a sprite editor in Enigma, by the way?

While a sprite editor would be useful, wouldn't something like Paint.NET suffice?
PAINT.NET GET IT OFF NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN.NET Paint.NET is shit and should never be touched even in deadly situations. GIMP and MSPaint are far better.

GIMP Agreed.
MSPaint Yes, just yes.
Fix'd.
By which, you mean "rigged". Seriously, drawing anything besides a low-colour pixellated smiley-face in MS paint is like visiting /b/ on 4chan. (i.e. complete mental breakdown imminent)

MSPaint is wonderful for pixeling, but not for actual graphic creation. GIMP is perfect. I hate how people whine about its interface; it's wonderful. Those who complain about GIMP's interface couldn't make anything better in Photoshop. Of course, those that don't probably could, but GIMP is free, so...
