Too late as the tradition demands, I uploaded now the documentation files of Irrlicht 0.6. Happy browsing. 🙂 I also uploaded a new image of the month. It shows a scene of a game made with Irrlicht. It is called ‘T’Quai The Dragon Slayer’. Some informations about the game can be found here and in the forum.
Exactly 365 days ago, the first version of the Irrlicht Engine (0.1) was released. This means, the Irrlicht Engine today celebrates its first birthday.

A lot of users were discovering strange holes in some Quake 3 levels when they were loaded and displayed with the Irrlicht Engine. Last night I debugged the whole thing and fixed the bug. I posted the code for this into the forum, and the fix will of course be included in next release. The screenshots […]
