Dev-C++ and Visual Studio support

Because of the outstanding linux port and some user requests, I’ve refactored the whole code of the engine and made it compatible to the g++ 3.2.0 and the last two microsoft compilers which come with VC++ 6.0 and VC++.NET.

Pre Alpha Demo ready for download

A year ago, I made a demo of the Irrlicht Engine for checking out the speed of the Direct3D8 driver. It was posted as IotD at flipcode. The demo showed some nice particle effects, the bsp tree in action, and the first steps with the character animation system. The demo is old and ugly, but the […]
