ENIGMA Development Environment

Er...
I tried compiling with and empty game, and installed all dependencies. I got this error:

If there is one thing I could suggest, it would be making it easier for people who dont like using the mouse much - keyboard shortcuts, and the annoying "Delete Resource" dialogue boxed should be smaller, or maybe appear next to the mouse. I often go outdoors with my laptop and do coding, and having to move the touchpad constantly when my fingers are on the keyboard is somewhat annoying.

As to other things:
-Glitches with the script editor - when code lines are longer than the page, all hell breaks loose. Vertical scrolling is also a bit iffy.
-Maybe intergrating the ENIGMA compile window into the IDE itself? I noticed there is simply LOADS of space left on the top toolbar, even on low-res screens. Maybe a simple version of the compile window could be put there with a percentage bar or something? Maybe you just need to press a button to make it 'pop' out into the normal windowed version?
-An ability to define the location for the GM manual. Many people have .pdfs of the GM documentation hanging around, and the help button actually being able to link to it would be very helpful.

This may sound obvious, but perhaps the MOST annoying thing about LGM is the lack of a built-in graphics editor. Its a lot of an ask I know, and a bit off-topic, but a very simple intergrated graphics editor, nothing fancy, would be so helpful. Either that, or better intergration with external ones. GIMP and KolourPaint tend to play up a bit when used in conjunction with LateralGM.

Thanks for reading; I hope it was helpful,

Ok, thanks for the help 

So does this all mean that compiling for Windows works, but only on Windows? Is it worth using my virtualbox W7 to compile my stuff?

Hi,

You guys may know me from being around the forum recently. I got ENIGMA a few months ago, but only really started using it recently. I have compiled a few things, made a few concept engines, perlin noise, etc. Everything seems to work fine, and the compiler is pretty sound as far as I can see. Although the IDE has a lot to be gained, I hear they are working on several others, so thats good.

What I am most concerned about is compiling for other systems. I run Linux Mint 14 (basically Ubuntu 12.10), but I only seem to be able to compile for Linux. When I try Windows or android, I get errors. Is there some kind of 'secondary compiler' I am meant to install for them? I understand that Android relies on the Android API, but that doesn't explain why Windows gives me "error in C++" or something from the compiler.

Thanks for reading,

In case anyone doesn't know, the Raspberry Pi is a project to create a simple and inexpensive gaming platform for the price of only $100 with the ability to do Quake graphics, and all that hardware accelleration and what not it has.

Anyway, allot of people over the GMC seem to like the idea of having Game Maker available for it, however YYG is completely ignoring the advent of this platform. I was wondering what the community here thinks about porting ENIGMA to Pi? I am not sure what the popularity of the platform is going to grow into or whether it will be just a flop. But nonetheless id like to know what everyone thinks of it.

Yes! Port to Raspberry Pi!

I added the semi-colon, but LateralGM keeps on crashing during the ENIGMA Run. I don't know why, its the same error as I told you earlier.

Any ideas? I hope to move almost completely to LateralGM and ENIGMA in the future, but its not working well enough atm...

Thanks,

Barry Smith

Well doing:
makereturns loads of errors in the console (although I did all of the commands correctly). If it matters, I am using Ubuntu 12.10, and I have heard that it behaves a little weirdly on Ubuntu...

I then ran LateralGM with the Java command, tried opening and running a .gm81, and go this:
#

Any ideas? :S

I tried running a different .gm81, and it worked. However, when I tried compiling to something else such as Android Simulator, I get:
Universal_System/Extensions/DataStructures/data_structures.cpp:1907:33: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Audio_Systems/AndroidAudio/Makefile'.  Stop.
