Irrlicht Engine

ha nvm I think I've got it...

Okay maybe i don't know how to do map loading and creation! I thought I could save each tile type in a text file with something like 1,0,2,2,4,0,0,1 etc with each number representing the tile or using binary (hex would look like this)0100020204000001. I need to either: a) convert a char ex. "1&...

Well the problem is there's going to be many bullets flying around. I guess you could store each bullet's propeties in an array, but that could get complicated. I would have to make an array int bullet[100][3]. If you shot your first bullet, [0][0] would contain the x position, [0][1] the y, [0][2] ...

I made my own system of checking for collision. The game map is made up of 800 25x25 pixel tiles, 32x25 of them (which will be bigger in the future) and your character is 25x25 pixels. Whenever you move, a while loop goes through an array (should I be using std::vector?) of 32x25 variables, and for ...

If nothing else, I might be able to make my own crude and inefficient collision engine and just draw eight or so sprites that change as rotation, but that would be sloppy and a lot of work...

Yes, and I made a few basic graphical games in BASIC a long time ago.

Well the problem is that I'm fairly new to C++ and new to irrlicht; It's hard for me to figure out a way to make it work.

So I guess I'll be using SDL? Sort of a kludge

Hello forum :D I'm making my first graphical game in C++. I plan for it to be a 2D top-down shooter game with multiplayer support. I've got the movement down, your character stays in the middle of the screen and walks when you press W,A,S, or D or a combination of two of them. The direction he walks...
