This article is about being able to share your games with others.

Sharing Source Code

When developing games with friends or other programmers and artists you need to be able to share your source code with them. ENIGMA supports all of the file formats of Game Maker, however we also have our own format, Overview of the EGM Project Files.

Compiling

Sometimes you may want to retain more rights to your intellectual property or perhaps you wish to commercialize your games or maybe you just don't want to share you source code and game files. That is where compiling comes in, compiling will take your game and turn it into a built executable program, technically this happens every time you run your games source code in the IDE, however this produces a standard executable for other computers.

Cross Platform

ENIGMA supports a variety of different platforms and even specific functions relating to those platforms.
