Hello, I am Robert, I like to program games usually strategy games, or
shooters, just as much as I love to play games. I am currently a lead
developer of the project, I work on ENIGMA's engine a lot as well and
have contributed a Box2D physics engine and quite a few other things,
and I am also the lead Administrator for
this Wiki. I am fluent in many programming languages, my preferred
language is Delphi, however I am able to adapt to any project very
easily and I am quite a tenacious and devoted contributor.

Suggestions

surface_get_buffer get the
backbuffer of a surface in a ds_grid, could speed up
draw_get_pixel and surface_get_pixel
terrain_ with geometric mipmapping api
voxel alternative graphics system and hardware accelerated
volumetric rendering API
path branching api
vertex/index buffer access api or something similar for animation
and realtime deformations, eg. destructible terrain
2d/3d conversion api, based on Yourself's scripts

Things to do

figure out whats causing that ai tutorial gmx to crash upon first
load
document
Instance_and_Motion_Functions
and mention ISO C99 for the collision functions
finish directsound so it plays mp3 and midi
reduce portable zip size
implement automatic updates
fix box2d docs with new wake parameter for forces

Recently Completed

Fixed LGM revert behavior and integrated ENIGMA settings with Game
Settings, cleaning up a load of old issues including making the save
changes dialog actually conditional.
Implemented partial search in resources feature.
Moved all LGM keyboard shortcuts to a properties file that can be
easily customized.
Added external Look and feel support
Fixed text alignment in Game Information
Fixed the printing dialogs, the behavior was much easier than I had
predicted and they work the same as GM8.1 for the Resource Info and
Game Info frames.

and 64bit
Fixed an issue with EGM's and the plugin, due to improperly closed
file streams the operating system was placing a lock on the file,

platforms
Added XInput extension for gamepad_* functions for Xbox 360
controllers
Outlined Direct3D 9 rendering system

Started room editor for NaturalGM
Merged JoshEdit into LGM main repository
Massive improvements to LateralGM

well as a GPL emoticon pack.
Other general cleanups using AWB
Provided a bunch of new documentation
Degfragged the heck out of the Wiki moving old stuff around and
updating it so much to make it cleaner looking and modern
Added the remaining functions that havent been implemented to the
list
Made the Wiki almost completely websafe for what I can tell 100%
websafe
Did allot of documenting on the Wiki
Added a find and replace tool to wxENIGMA
Fixed multiple Audio issues and did some more doxygen commenting

including Box2D and the OpenGL graphics
systems.
Setup a temporary website for NaturalGM
Designed a new forum theme, and fixed lots of issues with other
browsers
Converted A LOT of the APNG loader

that are obsolete

for the functions
Cleaned up compiler output
Updated the function documentation layout's and documented a bunch
of functions
Refactored walls/floors/cubes in the new graphics system to
deprecate immediate mode
Applied texture macro that reduces the number of texture binds by
OGL, effectively almost doubling the speed of all games
Patched Audio system to use pointers instead, effectively reducing
memory consumption
Split the graphics engine in two for advanced application of OGL3
rendering
Rewrote the underlying texture system
Threaded compilation with wxENIGMA and have most of the basic
controls and structure layed out.
Restarted development of the wxENIGMA IDE, and now have it linking
the plugin
