This build of the Mhatxotic Engine API consists of 927 functions (409 members, 518 methods) and 32 consts in 31 namespaces with 89 commands and 223 cvars.
The archive class allows the programmer to load 7-zip archives into the engine in which any file loaded by the engine may exist in these archives as well. Although those files that exist on disk will always override any archive based file which is configured by the 'ast_override' cvar. Archives with the extension specified in the cvar 'ast_bundles' in the current working directory will automatically be loaded at startup which is ".adb" by default (not .7z). The executable file on Win32 systems is automatically loaded at startup in addition so that a programmer can store all assets inside the executable for portable distribution. Of course the LZMA library handles the opening of such files so any such format of .7z file will work fine. Although it is recommended not to use solid archives as reading these archives will be extremely slow. Also note that encrypted or split archives are not supported yet as these features are not handled by the LZMA library.
The Asset class allows the programmer to load files from disk for personal use and manipulation of that data with codecs or manually by the programmer.
The atlas class allows dynamic building of an OpenGL texture by allowing the guest to combine multiple bitmaps into a single texture so there is less OpenGL texture id switching and fundamentally less CPU usage used.
The audio class allows control of audio subsystem.
The core class allows manipulation of and retrieve information from the game engine itself.
The window class contains functions for manipulating the Window.
The 'Fbo' class allows the programmer to create an OpenGL frame-buffer object which they can use to create seperate drawing canvases which they can apply special effects to without modifying other canvases.
The file class allows the programmer to read and write files from the game directory.
The font class allows dynamic creation from font files using the FREETYPE library.
This allows the programmer to manipulate images asynchronously and send the objects to a 'Mask' or an OpenGL 'Font' or 'Texture' object. You can use the console command 'imagefmts' to see what formats are usable.
The input class allows the programmer to query the state of the keyboard, mouse and game controllers.
The mask class is a pixel-perfect 1-bit bitmask processing API which allows the programmer to create destructable terrain and collision testing whether the test maybe between two sprites or actual terrain background. You can create bitmasks as big as the system will allow.
The palette class allows creating and modifying palettes and uploading them to the GPU for use with 8-bit paletted textures. Only one palette can be active at once and textures marked with LF_PALETTE are affected by the palette.
This allows the programmer to load encoded waveforms which can be sent to OpenAL as a 'Sample' object if required. You can use the console command 'pcmfmts' to see what formats are usable.
The socket class allows the programmer to connect to a remote network using OpenSSL encryption or unencrypted connection. There is also basic support for HTTP connections, or you can write your own routines for that or any other protocol in Lua!
The source is a sound channel in OpenAL that can be manipulated such as */ changing volume, pitch, position and other things. It can only be */ created by the Sample:Play() function.
Allows creating of tables with properly justified and proportioned data. Useful for the neat display of debug data to the console or logging to a file.
The stream class allows loading of large audio files such as ambience or music fuiles which are streamed into and played back from multiple buffers. Only .OGG file format is supported at the moment. The entire file will be loaded into memory in it's compressed form. It will be decompressed into multiple buffers during playback. The 'aud_strbufcount' cvar controls how many buffers are used to stream. The 'aud_strbufsiz' cvar controls the size of each buffers. Since playback is done in separate threads, there is not much need to modify any of the above settings.
The texture class allows the programmer to draw textures on the screen which also includes font management.
This class gives the guest parsing and validation of Uniform Resource Locators (or URLs).
This contains miscellaneous utility functions such as crypto, string, number integer and time manipulation functions.
The video class allows loading of video streams using the Theora video codec, vorbis audio codec and ogg format container (.OGV) which will playback into a frame buffer object.
Console commands that can see and manipulate all the data in the engine.

Returns if the main FBO is set to redraw.
Handle = Fbo.Main()
Handle (Fbo) = A handle to the main FBO object.
Returns a handle to the main FBO so you can draw to it. Changing the properties of the main FBO may result in undefined behaviour. Note that the engine console shares the same FBO so you may want to create a separatte FBO to draw to.
Width, Height = Fbo.Matrix()
Width (number) = Current requested matrix width.
Height (number) = Current requested matrix height.
Returns the active matrix size of the main framebuffer. This is the value set by cvars 'vid_orwidth', 'vid_orheight' and also modified with the Fbo.Resize() function.
Fbo.OnRedraw(Func)
Func (function) = The main redraw function to change to
When OpenGL needs to be reinitialised, the specified callback will be called so the guest can redraw FBO's and maybe do other stuff. All texture and FBO data is already preserved so there is no need to reinitialise any of that, you just need to redraw them.

Fbo:Activate()
Makes the specified FBO the active FBO and all subsequent Texture:* calls will apply to this FBO. This can be called on the main FBO.
Fbo:Blit()
Blits the SPECIFIED FBO to the currently ACTIVE FBO. This just adds to the active FBO drawing arrays and doesn't actually render until the active FBO is finished and rendered. The currently stored vertex, texcoord, colour and matrix values are used.
Fbo:BlitT(TriIndex)
TriIndex (integer) = Triangle index. Triangle #1 (zero) or triangle #2 (one).
Blits the SPECIFIED triangle of the SPECIFIED FBO to the currently ACTIVE FBO. This just adds to the active FBO drawing arrays and doesn't actually render until the active FBO is finished and rendered. The currently stored vertex, texcoord, colour and matrix values are used.

Destroys the FBO and frees all the memory associated with it. The OpenGL handles and VRAM allocated by it are freed after the main FBO has has been rendered. The object will no longer be useable after this call and an error will be generated if accessed.
Destroyed = Fbo:Destroyed()
Destroyed (boolean) = If the Fbo class is destroyed
Returns if the Fbo class is destroyed.
Fbo:Finish()
Queues the FBO for redrawing after LUA has finished it's tick function.
You only need to run this once, subsequent calls in the same frame will be ignored as the FBO has already been queued for redrawing.
Fbo:Flush()
Completely resets the FBO commands and triangles lists. The triangles list data has to exist before the frame ends as OpenGL could copy it to VRAM at any time during the frame up to when glFinish() is called at the end of the frame. For performance reasons, this data is not cleared until the FBO is set to active again with the Activate() function on any subsequent frame that you call this function.

Specify the id number to show information about that its accompanying license. Id 0 is always information about the engine. Data is statically stored and compressed using a 'Codec' class object inside the executable. The static compressed data is defined as code inside the 'license.hpp' header file and automatically generated by the Mhatxotic Engine Project Management Utility parsing all the 'licenses/*.txt' files.

Disables all the user configurable variables. You can add a 'prefix' argument to match the first part of the variable. Type the full variable name to show all the internal data about the variable. Do be careful when using this command when sharing desktops as this reveal the value even if the variable is set to 'confidential'.
Purges all currently unrecognised orphan cvars from the database.
This function creates a new private key for variables marked as encrypted using AES128. This is not normally a destructive operation as all variables are marked to be recommited to the database so encrypted variables are re-encrypted with the new private key on commit time. If you use the private key for own purposes then all data using the old private key will 1destroy all encrypted data using it.
Show pending variables. These are variables that were committed to the database that have not been registered by LUA. When a variable is unregistered then the variable is placed back in this pending list.
Commit all unsaved variables to the SQLite database in volatile storage.
Shows all the files in the current or specified directory. If the file is on disk then the file shows as <FS> (FileSystem) but if the file is from an archive that archive filename and its entry ID number is displayed instead.

Executes the specified LUA command in the current sandbox. You can also use the 'return' prefix and the result will be shown when the command has finished executing.
Shows all created 'LuaFunc' object classes created by the engine. These are for reference only and cannot be interacted with directly with LUA.
Prints the entire listing of variables and functions in the LUA global registry index (otherwise known as the '_G' table).
Performs full garbage collection. The amount of memory recovered is displayed in the command output.
Dumps the entire engine log to console. If the 'log_file' cvar is changed then there will be no command output.

This should normally be empty and if it is not then there is an internal problem where it did not get cleaned up. Please report this if so with reproduction steps if you can.
Shows current memory information. Memory used by LUA, SQL, the engine, the GPU memory (with compatible nVidia or ATI/AMD devices) and the operating system.
Show all the loaded modules by the engine and operating system at startup. On Windows, these are '.dll' files, '.dylib' files on MacOS and '.so' shared objects on Linux.

[0x8] CFL_TIMER = Limit engine framerate to cvar value 'app_tickrate'.
Shows the commandline sent to the application it cannot be changed at all.
Loads the configuration file with the specified extension (usually 'app').
The suffix extension of '.cfg' is always assumed for protection so the guest need never specify it. This variable can only be set at the command-line.
Specifies any copyright information for the guest application. It is purely for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies an artificial delay to force for terminal mode or graphical mode without the frame-limiter mode in milliseconds. In frame-limiter graphical mode, the delay is completely ignored if frames are running behind the accumulator. This function greatly lowers CPU usage and performance. The default is '0' which causes a thread yield every frame but no suspend.
Specifies a description for the guest application. It is purely for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies a large icon for use with the application and window. It can be any format that is supported with the Image.* loading functions. It can also be changed dynamically by Lua. Keep to empty for default icon.
Specifies a long title name for the guest application. It is uses as the window title and for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies a short title name for the guest application. It is purely for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies the base tick rate of the guest application in nanoseconds.
The engine locks to this tick rate regardless of lag. It can also be changed dynamically with Lua. The default is 0.016666666 seconds (60fps).
Sets a custom title for the window. This can only be changed at the command-line or the application configuration file and not saved to the persistence database. It only applies to the Win32 terminal window (not MacOS nor Linux terminal windows) and to any OS desktop windows. If not specified, the default is used in the format of 'L V (T)' where 'L' is the value of 'app_longname', where 'V' is the value of 'app_version' and 'T' is the target executable architechture.
Specifies a version for the guest application. It is purely for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies a website for the guest application. It is purely for display purposes only to the end-user. It can be requested by the guest and only set in the app.cfg file.
Specifies the base directory of where the executable was started from. It is only readable by the end-user and the host, but not the guest.
Specifies the [.ext]ension to use as 7-zip archives. These filenames will be checked for at startup and automatically loaded by the engine.
A boolean to specify if the executable file should be checked for a 7-zip archive and use that to load guest assets. This is only supported on Windows architectures right now and ignored on others.
Specifies the order in which to load resources. Specify '0' to only allow the files to be loaded from archives, '1' to search the disk first and then archives, '2' to load from archives first and then try the disk or '3' to load from disk only.
Species the users home directory where files are written to if they cannot be written to the working directory. It is only readable by the end-user and the host, but not the guest.

Scans the directory pointed at 'ast_homedir' to be scanned for archives ending in the value specified by 'ast_bundles' which can override any game asset (except app.cfg). The default is true (yes).
Specifies the default file access safety mode. Specify 0 to completely disable this feature, 1 for very basic checks such as checking pathnames for invalid control characters, too long pathnames, or 2 (default) to fully check each path part which denies attempting to escape above the directory pointed by 'ast_basedir', using directories '.' and '..', reserved Windows system device names and Windows drive letters are denied.
Note that '.' is allowed with directory enumeration functions. Non-default settings are provided for troubleshooting purposes only. If this setting is changed, any file on the system that the calling user has access rights to can be accessed.
Specifies an interval (in number of milliseconds) of checking for audio device changes as OpenAL does not have an event interface for this. This check is done in the audio manager thread. If a change in the audio device list is detected then the audio is reset automatically, as if the 'areset' console command was used.
Specifies an delay (in number of milliseconds) to suspend the audio thread each tick. Lower values use less CPU usage but may cause audio pops. The audio thread is in charge of managing Source classes and checking for discreprencies.
Specifies the volume of Video classes. 0.0 (mute) to 1.0 (maximum volume).
Specifies whether to use HRTF dynamics on audio output. This could cause strange audio stereo quality issues so it is recommended to disable.
Specifies the audio device number to use. -1 makes sure to use the default device, otherwise it is the index number of a specific audio device to use.
Specifies the maximum number of sources to preallocate. 0 means sources are (de)allocated dynamically. Setting this value to non-zero may improve CPU usage but increases the chances of errors if too many sources are requested.
Specifies the volume of Sample classes. 0.0 (mute) to 1.0 (maximum volume).
Specifies the number of buffers to use for Stream classes. We need multiple buffers to make streamed audio playback consistent. Four should always be enough.
Specifies the size (in bytes) of memory to allocate for use with buffering data for the Stream class. Stream classes try to load up as much data in this buffer as possible before dispatching it to the audio renderer. The default is to allocate 32 kilobytes of RAM which should be enough and will need to be raised if any distortions occur in playback.
Specifies the volume of Stream classes. 0.0 (mute) to 1.0 (maximum volume).
Makes sure the specified version matches the internal openal version and soft initialises the library.
Specifies the global volume of all class types. 0.0 (mute) to 1.0 (maximum volume). Setting a value too high may cause artifacts on older OS audio API's.
Specifies compatibility flags. Great care is taken to make sure the engine works on any Ubuntu, MacOS or Windows system, when upgrading third-party components, problems may occur. These work as temporary workarounds to make the engine work flawlessly on certain systems. By default, all flags are enabled by default but you can selectively disable them in order to to assist with troubleshooting. The aim is to resolve all these issues so most of the time 'com_flags' has no function whatsoever. At the moment, there seem to be no compatibility problems so this is a nullop for now.

[0x0] SF_NONE = Do not show cvars marked as private or protected.
[0x1] SF_CONFIDENTIAL = Show cvars marked as private.
[0x2] SF_PROTECTED = Show cvars marked as protected.
Specifies wether the console is permanantly disabled or not. It ignores the CON_GCWTERM setting as well. This does not disable the NCurses mode terminal which cannot be disabled.

Specifies the height of the loaded console FreeType font.
Specifies the amount of padding to add below each line of text rendered.
Specifies any extra padding to add to each FreeType font glyph to prevent pixels from other glyphs spilling into the render due to filtering.
Specifies the maximum character code to end precaching at
Specifies the minimum character code to start precaching from
Specifies the scale adjust of the font. A value not equal to one will cause interpolation to occur so filtering is advised.
Specifies the amount of padding to add after each cahracter rendered.
Specifies the initial size of the texture canvas in pixels. Do not set this more than 1024 pixels unless you know for a fact the GPU will support this value. An exception is thrown if not. Zero means start with enough size for one character.
Specifies the width of the loaded console FreeType font.
Enable to allow the graphical console to show when 'app_cflags' is set to include a terminal window as well as the main engine window. It is set to 'false' by default. This is useful if you do live on-screen testing of your application and work with sensitive information in which you'll want to keep this disabled to prevent potential leaking of private information on-screen. It can only be set in the application manifest file.
Specifies the height of the console in OpenGL mode. 1 means the console is covering the whole screen, and 0 means the console is not showing.
Specifies the time interval in microseconds between input polls. Only applies to the text mode console. The default is 3125 microseconds on windows (31.25 milliseconds) to prevent concurrency slowdowns and 10000 microseconds (10 milliseconds) on anything else.
Specifies the maximum number of characters that are allowed to be typed into the console input buffer.
The primary GLFW console key virtual key code to use to toggle console visibility. It is set to '`' as default on a UK keyboard.
The secondary GLFW console key virtual key code to use to toggle console visibility. It is set to '+-' as default on a US keyboard.
Specifies the maximum number of characters that are allowed on each console output line. It is needed to limit stalling the engine and GPU with very long lines.
The number of lines that are scrolled when pressing CONTROL and PAGEUP or PAGEDOWN keys.
In terminal mode, this is the maximum number of columns to draw. The larger this value is, the more text that can be displayed at once but will increase CPU usage from the operating system.
Disables the X button and close in the application context menu. This does not prevent CONTROL+C/BREAK keys. This only applies to the Windows operating system console only and a nullop on any other system!
The interval in milliseconds where the status bar and title bar are refreshed. The title bar contains basic operating statistics and the status bar is configurable by LUA and contains the input bar when text is being typed.
In terminal mode, this is the maximum number of rows to draw. The larger this value is, the more text that can be displayed at once but will increase CPU usage from the operating system.
The format of the time in the titlebar (see strftime() for details).
Throws an error if the user is running the engine with elevated privileges. This can be one of three values...
0 = The engine is allowed to be run with elevated privileges.
1 = The engine is NOT allowed to be run with elevated privileges.
2 = Same as 1 but ALLOWS when OS's has admin as default (i.e. XP!).
The default value is 2.
Throws an error if there is an executable checksum mismatch. This only applies on Windows executables only as Linux executable does not have a checksum and MacOS uses code signing externally. The default value is 1 on release executable else 0 on beta executable.
Throws an error if a debugger is running at start-up. The default value is 1 on release executable else 0 on beta executable.
Tries to activate an existing window of the same name if another instance is running. On Windows, mutexes are always cleaned up properly even in a crash but not on Linux and MacOS. So just simply remove the app name from /dev/shm and the engine should run again.
The engine fails to run if the system does not have this amount of free memory available. If this value is zero then the check does not take place else the amount specified is allocated at startup, cleared, the speed of the clear is reported in the log then the memory is freed. The default value is zero.
The engine fails to run if the system does not have this amount of VRAM available.
The size of the audio buffer in seconds. Changing this value only takes effect the next time a 'Video' object is constructed.
For each 'Video' class, this amount of memory is allocated as buffering from disk. Changing this value only takes effect the next time a 'Video' object is constructed.
The amount of time allowed to drift between audio and video before we start speeding up or slowing down audio. Changing this value only takes effect the next time a 'Video' object is constructed.
When enabled (default) the mouse cursor is clamped to the window edge.
Since Windows and Linux already do this at the OS level, it obviously only affects MacOS versions and changing it does nothing on anything but MacOS.
It is only here if the original OS level behaviour of MacOS is desired where the cursor is allowed to leave the window. Recommended to enable 'inp_fsignore' too to disable the input when mouse leaves the window.
Enables or disables the ALT+ENTER or OPTION+ENTER combinations to switch between full-screen or windowed mode (Uses value from 'vid_fs').
Enables or disables the placing CAPS/NUM/SCROLL LOCK status in the key events.
If set to 0 (default). The specified log file at 'log_file' is created or truncated when opened else if set to 1 then the specified log file is created or appended.
Specifies to include shared libraries in the log at startup.
Specifies a file to log internal engine messages to. It is used to help debugging. Leave as blank for no log file. It can be set from command-line parameters, the app.cfg file and the user.

[1] LH_ERROR = For reporting only errors (which halt execution).
[2] LH_WARNING = For reporting only warnings (recoverable errors).
[3] LH_INFO = For reporting useful important messages.
[4] LH_DEBUG = For reporitng other information (debugging).
Specifies the maximum number of lines to keep in the backlog. The log lines are always empty when logging to a file.
Specifies to compile any Lua code and store it in the user database for later retrieval. When loading already compiled raw code, this feature is ignored.
[0] LCC_OFF = Compile Lua code every time and not store.
[1] LCC_FULL = " with full debug information and store result (Best).
[2] LCC_MINIMUM = " with minimum debug information and store result.
The default value is 3 for release executable and 2 for beta executable.
Print locals when generating stack traces (default is true).
When LUA_ERRMODE is set to 1, this specifies the number of LUA script errors that are allowed before an error after this is treated as a critical error. The default value for release executable is 1000 and 10 for beta executable.
Sets how to handle a LUA script error to one of these values...
[0] LEM_IGNORE = Ignore errors and try to continue.
[1] LEM_RESET = Automatically reset on error.
[2] LEM_SHOW = Open console and show error.
[3] LEM_CRITICAL = Terminate engine with error.
The default value is 3 for release executable and 2 for beta executable.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPMAJORMINOR value. The default value is 50 and is only applied at sandbox initialisation. This determines when a minor collection upgrades into a major one. If the memory in use after a minor collection remains above x% of the memory threshold set by the last major collection, a full major cycle is triggered.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPMINORMAJOR value. The default value is 50 and is only applied at sandbox initialisation. This controls how the major collections themselves behave when done incrementally, managing the pacing between back-to-back major collection steps.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPMINORMUL value. The default value is 20 and is only applied at sandbox initialisation. This controls the frequency of minor collections. A minor collection triggers when memory grows by x% beyond the memory in use after the previous major collection.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCGEN and LUA_GCINC values. These are flags bit 1 specifies if LUA_GCGEN should be enabled and bit 2 specifies if LUA_GCINC should be enabled. The default value is 3 (both enabled) and is only applied at sandbox initialisation.
Generational GC: The heap is partitioned into at least two regions (a young/nursery generation and an old generation). Allocations are done in the young generation; the collector performs frequent minor collections that scan only the young generation and its remembered set (references from old to young). Objects that survive a number of minor collections are promoted to the old generation. Because most objects are shortlived, minor collections reclaim most garbage quickly at low cost.
Major/full collections that scan both generations occur much less often; they are more expensive but infrequent. Correctness requires write barriers and a remembered/set mechanism to track crossgeneration references so the collector can avoid scanning the entire heap during minor collections.
Incremental GC: A full collection cycle (mark/sweep/compact phases as applicable) is broken into many small steps that the collector advances between mutator (program) operations. Each step performs a bounded amount of work (e.g., marking a portion of reachable objects, processing a chunk of the gray set, or sweeping a segment of memory) and then yields back to the mutator. The collector maintains invariants via barriers (incremental write/read barriers) to ensure the mutator does not invalidate the progress of marking. Incremental GC reduces maximum pause time - worst-case latency per step is bounded - at the cost of extra bookkeeping and slightly higher total overhead because of the barrier work and more frequent state transitions. Generational and incremental strategies are orthogonal and can be combined: minor generational collections can be incremental, and major collections can be performed incrementally as well.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPPAUSE value with this. The default value is 250 and only applied at sandbox initialisation. This controls how long the collector waits before beginning a new cycle. It is calculated as a percentage of memory allocation. A value <=100 means the collector will not wait and will immediately begin a new cycle. The default of 200 means it waits for total memory to double before starting again.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPSTEPMUL value with this. The default value is 200 and only applied at sandbox initialisation. This controls the collector's speed relative to how fast the application is allocating memory (e.g., how many elements it sweeps per KB allocated). Setting this below 100 makes the collector too slow, meaning it may never finish a full cycle and can cause memory leaks.
Overrides Lua's internal LUA_GCPSTEPSIZE value with this. The default value is 9600 and only applied at sandbox initialisation. This controls the size of each incremental step by dictating how many bytes (2n bytes) the interpreter allocates before triggering a collection step. Setting this to an intentionally large value (like 60) effectively forces the collector into a non-incremental, "stop-the-world" routine.
Specifies the last known version of LUA used with the engine. If the current LUA version is different to this then the code cache will be completely deleted so all code is recompiled.
Specifies a fixed random seed that Lua's math.random() function should use. Specify zero to have this value randomised at startup with entropy from the operating system.
Specifies the script to load and execute automatically at startup. It must be a safe filename that does not leave the engines active parent directory.
Makes sure theres room for this many values on the Lua stack.
Sets the internal Lua value of LUA_MASKCOUNT and executes a callback for every such number of operations executed to check to see if the script has been executing for too long. You can see the rate of the operations by using the 'cpu' command in the engine console.
Specifies the limit in seconds of how long a engine frame can be executed for in Lua. Set to zero to disable this feature but it is not recommended as resulting infinite loops in Lua cannot be recovered and will require force termination of the entire process.
Specifies the amount of memory in bytes to reserve for each recv() or send() call. Default is 64k.
Specifies the relative directory to the client certificate store. These are required CA certificates that are used for the basis of every SSL connection. These certificates are loaded and checked at startup and a log warning message is generated if the certificate is not usable.
Specifies the default settings for TLSv1.x connections. The default is use only maximum strength ciphers.
Specifies the default settings for TLSv3 connections. The default is empty which lets OpenSSL decide.
Specifies a socket recv() command timeout in seconds.
Default is 2 minutes.
Specifies a socket send() command timeout in seconds.
Default is 30 seconds.
When using the built-in simple HTTP client, this string is sent as the default 'User-Agent' variable. It is automatically generated if left empty to "Mozilla/5.0 (<EngineName>; <EngineBits>-bit; v<EngineVersion>) <AppName>/<AppVersion>".
Specifies the maximum number of archive objects allowed to be registered by the engine. This includes the archives that are loaded at startup An exception is generated if more archives than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of asset objects allowed to be registered by the engine. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.

Specifies the maximum number of bin objects allowed to be registered by the engine. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of clipboard objects allowed to be registered by the engine. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of Lua console commands allowed to be registered by the engine.
Specifies the maximum number of initial cvars allowed to be registered by the engine. Initial cvars are in a temporary state, they are used when the corresponding cvar is registered, and passed back to this temporary state when the cvar is unregistered. The temporary state of all initial cvars are then commited to database at exit and on-demand. An exception is generated if more initial cvars than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of cvars allowed to be registered by the engine. This includes the internal default cvars. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of framebuffer objects allowed to be registered by the engine. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.
Specifies the maximum number of file objects allowed to be registered by the engine. An exception is generated if more cvars than this are allocated.

Specifies the Sql database filename to use. This filename is subject to sandboxing and cannot leave the startup directory. The extension ".udb" is automatically suffixed and cannot be changed. If the database cannot be created than it will be created in a user writable persistence directory which is different depending on which operating system you are using. You can also specify 'MEMORY' to keep the Sqlite database in memory. Failures result in the Sqlite database being stored in memory. Specifying a blank string uses the executables filename without the extension.

Specifies which full-screen mode to use. You can check the log or use 'vmlist' console command to see which resolutions are available on your system. Anything >= -1 means exclusive full-screen mode and -1 makes the engine use the current desktop resolution (default on Mac for now). Use -2 to make the engine use borderless full-screen mode (default on Win/Linux).

Sets the texture filter id and equates to the values of the 'Fbo.Filters' table.
Enables vertical synchronisation which helps smooth the frame rate. Set to 0 if you don't care about the longevity of your GPU and make it draw as fast as possible, or 1 to keep it synchronised to your monitors vertical refresh rate. You can also use -1 to use adaptive sync, and 2 to half the refresh rate if you like.
Specifies that the window has alpha which is needed for transparent windows. Default is 0 for no.
Force the window to have an aspect ratio. Specify as a floating point number. i.e. 16.9 for 16:9 or 4.3 for 4:3, etc. or 0 for numeric and/or denominator for freedom for the end user to resize at will.
