ENIGMA Development Environment

... JUST USE THE CURRENT FRIGGING THING B/C IT GET DONE SOONER!

yeah um not everyone lives in the us/uk, care to mention what region this is

Eh, XP never lost everything from a save form except the size. I can go to save things sometimes and get an empty window border. Have to restart to fix it sometimes, too. That's Vista.

Win7 I hate almost as bad. They fixed the window issues, and they even stole some really nice ideas from Linux. They also stole Mac's dock, which I HATE. Talk about unnavigable. And to make things worse, they have 10x the number of ../ loops as XP. If you click "My Documents," you're taken to a libraries folder that includes "My Documents." It's almost impossible to get to "~/Downloads" because it's not on the start menu, it can't be added to the start menu sidebar where it should have been from square one, and trying to move to ../ from their linked "My Documents" will loop "Libraries/Documents" "Libraries" "Libraries/Documents" "Libraries," just like when "My Documents/.." led to "Desktop" on XP.

I hate their new operating systems so much. Frankly, I kind of like Vista better than 7.

Windows 7 didn't steal from Mac's dock, it's fundamentally different

And why would you hate a company's products for using things from something else, that's like hating HTC Sense, Android, Palm webOS, etc for implementing multitouch which Apple holds a patent on

Although I do agree that libraries is a pos

Josh, what's your goal for ENIGMA when it comes to GM interoperability? Effortless conversion to ENIGMA, or requiring changes during conversion that would be more intuitive?

But then, you are throwing this choice out to us...

The reason I don't work on the Enigma parser is that I don't really care. I'm interested in how it turns out and I might use it, but I would rather spend my time on a better-designed system. I have no interest in torturing a good design into backwards compatibility with GM's.

GCC and Clang are for sure recursive descent. I'm sure other C++ compilers are recursive descent. It's not a question of how complicated it is, because recursive descent already has an established way to parse complicated things. Your GML parser needs new logic for every little change that recursive descent would handle the same way as everything else.

If you don't care why are you caring about it

im not, but i run into at least 2 a day!

Often "bugs" can be caused by other things

When I go over my monthly internet limit, Facebook's features don't immediately start working until I wait for a while.

That's not a bug. That's my internet being slow.
