There is a new tutorial written by André Simon, which describes how to create applications using the Irrlicht Engine with Metrowerks CodeWarrior. Thus, now 5 IDEs are supported: The last 3 versions of Microsoft Visual Studio, Bloodshed DevC++ and Metrowerks Codewarrior.
A new version of the engine has been released. Download it from the download page. There are more new features and changes in the 0.4 version of the engine than in any other release before. The highlights are: Collision Detection and Response. Add gravity, sliding and stair climbing to your application only by switching it on […]
Again I uploaded a new shot of the week. It has nothing to do with the current development, it simply looks cool. It is not possible to make a shot of the now implemented collision detection and response, and as long as nobody sends me screenshots of his project with the engine, I’ll have to […]
Because of a user request, I set up a new forum. I chose a phpBB2 Forum with a Irrlicht-style adapted VB2 skin, hope you like it. This new forum will replace the sourceforge forum, so it would be really nice if you could go there, check it out, and post some messages into it. Also, it […]
As you can see in the screenshot on the left, picking now works really good. Picking is already 100% implemented and I am currently working on collision detection and response. I hope it will be possible to go through a 3d map like in first person shooters in the next release. I updated the development page for […]
I uploaded a new shot of the week, again showing the particle system. Yesterday, I played around with stencil shadows and added the option to choose between ZFail and ZPass method, to be able to move the camera into shadow volumes without errors. This will be included in the next release of the engine.
A new game called ‘The ReShock Project‘ using the Irrlicht Engine is being created by Christian Lins. It is a Fan-Fiction game to System Shock 2. Find more information on the games website, which now is linked from our link page.
Andy Spurgeon wrote a new tutorial on how to set up Dev C++ for developing applications with the Irrlicht Engine with it. Thanx! You can find the new tutorial in the tutorial section. In addition I updated the screenshot section and the link page.
The last days I added an easy to use but very extensible particle system scene node to the engine for creating explosions, smoke, snow, fire and so on. It looks really nice (take a look at the new screenshots) and is surprisingly fast. It will be included in the next release of the engine.
And Julio Gorgé has done it again: The Unofficial DirectX 9.0 Driver for the Irrlicht Engine 0.3 is released. A big ‘thank you’ goes out to him, spain and ZSgames. The files can be downloaded from the download section. In addition, I updated the link and development page. I also want to thank all out there for sending in the […]
