If you are new to Irrlicht, there is a very objective article available on freshmeat.net, giving a short overview about the engine. It was written by Ian Gowen and also comments my rusty english, which I commented in return. 😉 There are several new projects using the Irrlicht Engine. I added links to all homepages of them […]
Game Maker is a freeware tool for making it easy to create games. It seems to target at non-programmers, but I think this tool is also useful for quick prototyping.

During the last days I was adding some missing features to the engine. In fact, I had a long list with lots of user requests. One of the most basic missing features was fog. It was not very difficult to add, took me about 20 minutes to update the D3D and OpenGL renderer. In 0.5 […]
