ENIGMA Development Environment

All I can say is, we'll see. I have no idea whatsoever (which is somewhat unusual; I usually thoroughly investigate the implications of any differences before acting, but in this case I have nothing to go by).

I've thought about it, and the idea that scares me the most is that a GM game in which the character could not fall through a 32px gap between blocks of the same size would do so in ENIGMA, or vice versa.

All I can say is, we'll do our best and pay careful attention to reports.

I'm telling you, there's got to be someplace where they sell Java programmers by the crate. The purebred kind, the ones that don't know any other languages and can't think for themselves. If we buy a whole crate full, we can just throw out the defective ones and keep a few good ones for you to put to work.

Oh, and I fixed some stuff in those thirty revisions, too. I don't feel like reading through them to figure out what they were, but two I can readily recall are a glitch in the syntax checker and another in the motion handlers.

Hello, Mith. I didn't realize you were still around. I think what you implemented there as move_towards_point is actually mp_linear_step. I don't see a problem with the code at all, though. Nicely done.

No, there is no special form for links. I was indicating that systems like Box2D would be added to the collision system list. Setting custom links is messy; that should only be required when the system can't be integrated elsewhere. But yes, that much is necessary.

As far as changing the compile flags, we have a lot more than that to change, as is becoming more and more evident. Someone signed into the IRC who was having problems getting ENIGMA to coexist peacefully with DevKitPro's Msys. It was a complete clusterfuck. It didn't help that Tortoise SVN was betraying us the whole way, either...

Damn.

Not just Mac. We're sticking to Mac because I've not yet started the Wii port and I don't own any other consoles for which I'd like to see ENIGMA work in the near future. It may happen that I'll end up thinking up a spec tailored to the Wii, and TGMG will make it work for Mac, iPhone, and Android.

Not to be a dick or anything, as TGMG has contributed some ideas to this mix, but it's so far been me who ends up writing the big picture shit that just needs to work, anyway. (I'd never expect anyone to mess with any of the parsers; it was neat enough that TGMG made the necessary modifications to the compiler source to get it working for those platforms at all). It's just that, as far as I can tell, this cross-compiling nonsense isn't going to happen until I have a release ready for Wii (which may in fact be sometime near New Year's).

Just leave that to me.

It's been a planned part of the iPhone/Android integration. By the same mechanism you chose a compiler for those devices, you will be able to choose a cross-compiler.

Issue is, Ism, TGMG, and myself are never on concurrently.

Yeah, I read that but forgot to acknowledge it. I probably won't be adding anything to the downloads page until I can get nothing but from a release.

...Presently, ENIGMA doesn't work out of the box on Mac without acute modification, so I'm withholding release until it works. By the time it does, collisions will probably be in, too. So.
