ENIGMA Development Environment

Are you compiling on Linux? If so, then you must enable the Ini extension. If you compile on Windows, then you must disable it. Ini functions are built-in windows, but they had to be remade in Linux, that is why it is an extension. We are contemplating removing the Windows functions and instead enable the extension in all platforms, as the current system seems to be confusing for other people.

No stupid mistake should create a segfault though. That seems to be a stupid mistake on our part. So maybe you want to show how to replicate the crash? If not, then I'm just happy you got everything working.

Is the "lag" low fps or is it a short freeze when generating?

Normally deactivation would be the way to go. The segfault should be investigated. Is there maybe a simple example you can post? Making blocks invisible should also help.
It will still be slower because instances have overhead. They require updates in cases you wouldn't need, like every block calculates direction based on speed and gravity all the time, even though speed and gravity is zero (there is probably a check in this case, but it is still a few "if checks" per instance). It also requires iteration and call for events. So I would suggest maybe using a grid or an array (maybe one instance and one grid per n number of blocks). Tiles would help with rendering, as right now backgrounds (tiles) can be drawn with one texture. This means all your world could end up as one draw call. Tile functions should work, so you could and and remove tiles at runtime. In my branch I have added texture atlases that allow you to put sprites, backgrounds and fonts into one texture. If you can post an example, I could see if that improves performance.

It already ended, so unless he keeps working "luck" is no longer needed.

I actually liked the battle system. The controls in it were very good. But I have few suggestions/bugs:
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.

So I liked the battle system, but it could be a little faster.

You must use x32 Java. So either uninstall x64 Java or make it use x32 specifically (see https://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Parallel_Java and https://enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Troubleshoot).

1) Are the D&D drawing actions put in object draw event? Nothing will be drawn outside the draw event.
2) You can try changing the graphics system and see if it draws then. Try GL1, GL3 and DX9. They can be changed in Settings.
3) Is the object in a room? And is the room running?

Can you try drawing with code to test? Put this in draw event of an object:
draw_text(10,10,"This is test. This draws text at position 10,10");
draw_ellipse(100,100,300,300,true);


Currently LGM is the only fully functional IDE for ENIGMA. The next closest thing is NaturalGM, but sadly it's not progressing and misses many things to be functional.

The new versions are still very hectic. It's hard to tell the difference between them, as the song on song thing still happens. But as wendigo said, maybe it fits the stage.
