Re: Release of Enigma 1.30-alpha

[Sidney Markowitz]

So far I have tried building it on VirtualBox virtual machines with CentOS 7, 
Ubuntu 18.04.5LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04LTS, all with VirtualBox Guest Additions 
installed, and I have both built from the working directory from the repo with 
autogen.sh, configure, make gmo, make, sudo make install, sudo enigma 
--makepreview being run, and also tried creating a distribution tar.gz and 
building from that (no additional autogen.sh, make gmo, or makepreview).

In every case, I ran it by running the command "enigma" in a Terminal command 
line. It started up ok, including being able to use the mouse to select menu 
items, up until I clicked on a level to run it. When in a level, moving the 
mouse caused lines of output on the Terminal saying (with varying numbers)
   mouse event with 33320, 14986
but the ball did not move. Clicking the mouse did cause the correct response 
in the game for a mouse click.

Pressing the Esc key properly escaped the level and the magic wand mouse 
cursor did then appear and worked to select from the menu.

Has anyone else had a similar experience, or can say what is different in your 
setup if you have been successful running in Linux, or do you have any insight 
on the mouse event messages and the inability to use the mouse in the levels?

Thanks,

 Sidney
