i'm testing the new version for windows x64
edit: so it's apparently the same  as win32 , and i don't see a need  for uploading a new version

it's really awesome , the console  is a very good idea
does it means that some users could work on code proposals for interfaces in the future ? some users would love that

perhaps you can also add constants for up down right and left vectors ?
it's useful for making lookat functions with quaternions

ok , i now have a working visual studio 2012 build of Maratis

before i upload it ,  i would have two questions :

1) do you guys think it would be possible to  update  the cmake files with some corrections regarding visual studio ? 
that way , vsstudio users could contribute to Maratis builds and easily make apps for Windows store ^^

i don't know cmake , but i could make a list of everything i had to change to make it work
also, it could be cool to add a "precompiled" .lib folder to the Maratis repository
that way , adding all the dependencies in visual studio wouldn't be needed

2) i'd like to add some stuff to my build of MaratisEditor , but would prefer not to have to redo everything once we switch to MguiV2 i had no time to explore MGui for now , but is MGuiV2 very different ? would it be a lot of work to port everything to V2 ?

just to say i successfully compiled MGui ( not the experimental one yet )
also , preprocessor definitions are working with WIN32 instead of Win32
so i added a tiny change to MWindow.h
http://pastebin.com/zNQaLKEb
it also works if adding Win32 to preprocessor definitions of the MGui project file ( Config properties/C/C++/Preprocessor)

successfully compiled MEngine and MaratisCommon
however ,  some questions concerning MGui

preprocessor definitions are ignored by visual studio,
so in mWindow.h,

this doesn't seems to work

#ifdef Win32
    #include "WIN32/MWin32Window.h"
#elif __APPLE__
    #include "COCOA/MCocoaWindow.h"
#elif linux
    #include "X11/MX11Window.h"
#endif
#endif

MWin32Window.h is not included, so i would have to manually include mWin32Window.h and it would be bad to commit that , and i think there are many preprocessor definitions anyway
if anybody knows how to have them working it would be great

perhaps it's for the same reason i got some X11 related errors
( if i understand correctly, nothing x11 related should compile on windows ? )

anyway , i removed those files from the solution and it works great

also, do you guys think is it possible to compile the new MGui from the experimental branch and use it with the standard Maratis build ?

right now you have to compile all your c++ code in a game.dll , you can check those tutorials

i would recommend sticking to lua for multiplatform compatibility:
you wouldn't have to recompile everything for windows/osx/android etc , and recompiling lua scripts is very fast
( very nice when you're designing a game )

despite it's ugly syntax , lua is apparently quite powerful
you can include multiple files via dofile command ( just like any other language )
and make classes

it's a good " game design oriented " language

and i'm now trying to use Danielhson's cmake files , it worked great generating Vs2010 project files! however i can't seem
to be able to compile mcore , as it can't find dirent.h

( fatal error C1083: can't open include file : 'dirent.h' : No such file or directory )
would somebody have any clues on this ??

also , do you guys think it's possible to compile the experimental branch of Maratis using Danielhson's cmake files ?
i would love to work on some features for the editor , but it would require working with the branch everybody is working on

thanks a lot guys!! l
