This is a wiki for all, who want to write Enigma levels by hand (not using a WYSIWYG editor). This wiki contains tutorials for beginners as well as a reference for advanced level editors.
Descriptions in this wiki are not written by God and can contain errors and/or be incomplete. Feel free to correct incorrect and supplement missing information.
The wiki's original language is German, that's why there are many untranslated pages. If in doubt, the German version of an article is definitive.
If you understand German, you are invited to translate untranslated pages. There are some pages which are translated by Mal2 or ShadowPhrogg32642342 whose native language is not English. For this reason, you may find many faults in style, grammar and orthography. Do not hesitate to correct them. You are of course also allowed to add further pages that do not exist in German yet.
With the release of Enigma 1.01, the information here is being updated. All information refers to (if not otherwise indicated) Enigma 1.01. However, not everything has yet been updated, so isolated information may have become out of date.
Since Enigma version 1.01 was released, development was going on and the work on a new level API produced some results. The level API version 2 is now partially documented here with an ongoing effort.
