Uhm well it won't "start up" no matter how long you wait. You downloaded the right one. It's a command line compiler, you'll first need an IDE to edit your programs.

So, you can just use Notepad to program in, or use for example the awesome editor Context.

You write your code, you save it as a .prg file. You drag the .prg file to FXC.exe and let go. Then you'll notice that a .dcb will be created (at least if you made no errors in your code!). Drag this .dcb file to FXI.exe, and the game will start. :)

This process can be automated so you can compile with one key, but first make sure you at least get it right manually once.

Flamebird 2 lets you just tell it where you've put fenix, and it does the rest for you.

Hey Toco, I attempted to make a small recording of my screen but icon dragging wasn't recorded while it should've been, so the recording didn't make much sense. Therefore I decided to make screenshots for you to guide you through getting a program running with Fenix. It's really easy, don't let the amount of screenshots scare you off, I only did it to make it as clear as possible.

(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Here we have a folder with all the Fenix files we need(that Fenix download).

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Right mouse click -> new -> text document

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Call it game.prg (or anything as long as the extension is .prg).

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Right mouse click on your game.prg -> open with -> notepad

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Now game.prg opens in notepad - here you can type your fenix code into. For this example, please take over what's on the screenshot above. Save and close the file when you're done.

(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Now you drag the game.prg to FXC.exe and let go. (btw that drawn arrow is an illustration of the mouse)

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Now a game.DCB should appear. If it doesn't, then right mouse click -> refresh. If it still doesn't appear, you typed in wrong code.

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Above here you see the file game.dcb that was created if you did it right.

Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Now drag this DCB to FXI.exe and let go. You'll notice the program will start!
Image thumbnail - click to enlarge
(Click thumbnail to enlarge)

Tada, a running empty Fenix program. Press esc to exit.


Toco123, please let me know if you can get this working the way I did it! If you can't, please tell me where it went wrong.

This process can be automated, but as long as you can't do it manually you probably won't understand how to automate it, or how to fix it when the automation broke down.

Good luck!
