So, now that switch statements are in, I can almost use Enigma with my Game Maker games. As in, only one game compiles.
Sooo, is event_user a bitch or something? Should I not be using event_user? Is event_user a horrible thing that should die?
Also, collision_circle. Replacing it with collison_rectangle works fine buuuuuut - actually no I just want to hear the technical reasons
And yeah. I'm going to go bother my tenants for rent now. Four days early. Thanks.
Also, unrelated, what the HELL is a callback in the context of why should I use it instead of adding a function pointer to a list or something? And yeah. That's it.
Yeah, these phone calls will be fun.

Event_user isn't all that hard; it's just gone unimplemented because its use is uncommon. If you bother us about it enough, it'll get done.
Collision_circle isn't in just because it requires math that's more fun to do out on paper than to implement in a collision engine.
Anyway, aside from callbacks often being threaded or handled by some other system, I don't see a difference between them and the list you described. At least in C++.

@Josh - My simple RPG engine that I posted about a while ago also uses event_user, so I guess it would be nice to have. (of course there are lots of other things the engine uses that ENIGMA would need but whatever) |

You make me weep. Also, user events would be very handy. |

I make extensive use of User Events, but I guess they could all be scripts instead. I'm using paths now for well pathfinding so hopefully that will get some love too.

HaRRiKiRi is working on paths now, actually. I gave him a hand with converting GM's 0-1 path positions to a position on a segment and ultimately to coordinates. From what I've seen, they're coming along rather well.
He's probably going to hit a snag with preallocation and getting his constructor to do reallocation, but I'll help him with that if he needs.
As for user events, I didn't realize so many people actually had use for them. I will see about implementing them; there may be some additional memory overhead or it may be completely optimized out, but it should be easy enough to do.

Paths are being worked on, but they cannot be finished until the extension system is done. And that's Josh's and Ism's job.
edit: What preallocation and reallocation are you talking about?
