Documentation

The Wiki is not at a point yet where we feel it can be compiled into an offline version. However, we do have a page export extension installed that you can use to export pages for now.

This article serves as a high-level overview of the core concepts used in ENIGMA to make games.

Basic
link=	Actions	A unique drag and drop solution to creating games.
link=	Events	Fundamental to how your game's logic is processed. They are triggered periodically or when certain conditions have been met.
link=	Functions	Similar to actions but are a more traditional programming concept and require that you write code.
link=	Variables	Store information and data such as how many lives or health a player has.
link=	Constants	Variables that do not change, such as the mathematical constant Pi.
link=	Resources	Primary means of organizing your game's content.
link=	Debugging	Find out why a game is crashing or not performing as expected.
link=	Redistributing	Share your games with other people and create a published version.
Advanced
link=	Input	Allows the player to interact with the game using various devices.
link=	Movement	Motion and interactivity are essential to making a game feel active.
link=	Collision Detection	A natural consequence of moving objects is that we need to detect when they collide with each other.
link=	Physics	Some games require more than simple collision detection and need objects to behave as they do in the real world.
link=	Audio	Sound effects and background music help to immerse the player in the game.
link=	Multiplayer	Connecting players together in the same game can often add replay value and create interesting dynamics.
link=	Drawing Things	One of the most essential parts of any game is drawing things on the screen.
link=	Particle Effects	Special effects that make the graphics look more realistic and like objects have physical qualities.
link=	3D Graphics	Can be used for special effects and to add extra depth to your game.
