Tutorial:Compiling_a_sample_game

After installation, it is a good idea to try compiling a sample game, as
this will make sure the installation was done successfully. Note that
the first time you compile a game it can take several minutes, however
after this it will usually only take a few seconds, even when compiling
another game. It's a good idea to start with a known working game
instead of using one of your own; here is one:

• http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/Games/Catch_the_Clown.gmk

Open the game in LateralGM (by using File > Open) then in the
ENIGMA menu at the top click the Run button. In Windows you can also
right-click the file and select open with -> then browse to the
location of ENIGMA.exe and choose this.

After you run the compile will either be successful, in which case you
will be greeted with a playable game, or it will fail and will show an
error in its backlog. Starting from the bottom of the log and working
your way up, you can probably find the problem (usually highlighted in
red). Alternatively, if you don't understand it, copy and paste the full
log into a pastebin website and ask for help on
either the forums
or the IRC.

Note if you want more games to try afterwards check out some user posted
games on our EDC: http://enigma-dev.org/edc/games.php?action=list
