| - | == Download == | + | |
| - | * To download a few old version of Fenix, go to the [http://fenix.divsite.net/index.php?opcion=1&lang=en Fenix site]. | + | |
| - | * To download previews of new beta versions, go to the [http://forum.divsite.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=5 Spanish forum]. | + | |
| - | * To download all Fenix versions, official DLL's and more up to date stuff, go to the [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2714 SourceForge site of Fenix]. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The current downloads you'll need are: | + | |
| - | * [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/fenix/fenix092a-win32-binary.zip Fenix 0.92a Binaries] | + | |
| - | * [http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~bergfi/fenix/0.93-preview9.zip Fenix 0.93 Preview 9 Binaries] | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Package == | + | |
| - | The Fenix consists of two main items: [[fxc.exe]] and [[fxi.exe]]. FXC.exe (FeniX Compiler) compiles code you program to bytecode, which FXI.exe (FeniX Interpreter) reads when you want to run your program. See their pages for more detailed info about them, for now we will focus on basic operations. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === FXC.exe === | + | |
| - | '''FXC.exe''' [<options>] <filename> | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''Options'': | + | |
| - | {| | + | |
| - | | -d || - Debugging mode. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -i <dir> || - Adds the directory to the PATH. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -a || - Automaticaly adds all files to the DCB. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -f <file> || - Adds a single file to the DCB. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -l <lang> || - Specify locale settings. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -s <stub> || - Generate a stubbed executable from the given stub. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -g || - Stores debugging information at the DCB. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -c || - File uses the MS-DOS character set. | + | |
| - | |} | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''Filename'': | + | |
| - | {| | + | |
| - | | The code to be compiled to bytecode. | + | |
| - | |} | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | FXC.exe compiles <file>.<file_extension> to the bytecode file <file>.dcb. Any information regarding the compilation and possible errors will be reported in stdout.txt. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === FXC.bat === | + | |
| - | This calls FXC.exe and outputs stdout.txt to the screen. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === FXI.exe === | + | |
| - | '''FXI.exe''' [<options>] <filename> | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''Options'': | + | |
| - | {| | + | |
| - | | -d || - Activate DEBUG mode. | + | |
| - | |- | + | |
| - | | -f || - 16bpp Filter ON (only 16bpp color mode). | + | |
| - | |} | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''Filename'': | + | |
| - | {| | + | |
| - | | The bytecode generated by FXC.exe, usually a .dcb file. | + | |
| - | |} | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | FXI.exe outputs text to both stdout.txt and stderr.txt. The first will contain console messages, like the ones produced with the [[say]]() command, while the latter will only contain text when a fatal error occurs. In such a case the file will contain an error message. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === DLLs === | + | |
| - | Some DLLs in the package don't have to be included everytime, there are a few which can be left out when compiling or running the code, if their functionality is not used. (''Specifics needed'') | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === NEWS === | + | |
| - | The file ''NEWS'' contains the [[changelog]] of the Fenix version it was included with. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Setting up == | + | |
| - | Extract the latest archive to a folder (At the moment [[0.92]]a and overwrite it with [[0.93|0.93 preview 9]]). | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | There are many ways to use Fenix. The most simplistic way is to use the command window to call the executables/batch files and type in the code with any text editor, which is a rather cumbrous method. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === Commandline === | + | |
| - | Using the commandline is not recommended, but still possible. Copy the needed files (fxc.exe, fxi.exe and their DLLs) to a new directory, "mygamedir" for example. Make a new file, "mygame.prg" for example and open it with a text editor, say Notepad. Here you can code what you want; save the code when you're done. Now go to this directory with the commandline and compile "mygame.prg": | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <code>fxc mygame.prg</code> | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Now "stdout.txt" will contain information about the compiling, including possible errors. When there are no errors, "mygame.dcb" will be created, which is a bytecode version of your code. To run this code, type: | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <code>fxi mygame.dcb</code> | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | That's it. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === ConTEXT === | + | |
| - | One can also make use of [http://www.context.cx/ ConTEXT] and set it up like described [http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~bergfi/?p=Projects/Fenix+for+ConTEXT+(IDE) here]. There's a highlighter file which is rather up-to-date and customizable. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === FlameBird === | + | |
| - | It is also possible to download [http://fbtwo.sourceforge.net/en/home.php Flamebird], which is an [[IDE]] made for Fenix, although it seems a bit unstable. (''More information and explanation needed'') | + | |
