Irrlicht Engine

grumpymonkey: I believe it was supposed to be without the 'e' but i can't remember why (i didn't make it, just entered it). wildrj: there is a general christian theme to design the games around, but as you can imagine they can get pretty abstract. The judging this year was community-based which I wa...

If anyone is interested, there is a 2 week long Christian game development contest starting soon.

Hey there, I've decided to give Irr another try (here's a screenshot from my last attempt: http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=115870 ) So I whipped up a simple floor and wall tiling system with some billboard sprites (rolled my own for more flexibility). I've been looking into some collision dete...

wow, thanks for the code i'll have to give this stuff another wack and see what i can come up with

Edit: when i get a chance, i plan on checking out that irrlicht + ode tutorial. i'll see if i can convert it to jirr + jode

Ah, the latest versions of Jirr don't have the function name anymore. Also that may not be the only function call that has changed so i can't offer any quick fixes just yet. I'm in a few projects right now so i don't have too much time to play around with it just yet but when i do get some time i'll...

Actually, to be honest, i'm not quite sure how to make a circular billboard. However, to be fair i haven't really done an EXTENSIVE search on it. I've read the API a few times over and don't remember seeing any thing that could be helpful though. Something i want to do sometime is make some facade c...

Hey, i have some gui controls that i set to not be visible. The problem is: for some reason when i test for click and gui click events on other objects, the invisible objects flicker. Has this happened to anyone before? I'm using Jirr which uses Irrlicht 1.1 so i'm wondering if it's just that but i ...

btw, i forgot to thank you for your input .

Also theory-wise, how would YOU create portals with the burning border? (not asking for code, just how you'd go abouts doing that)

whoops, you are indeed right, i had a bit of leftover code from a few tests i was playing with. sorry about that :( As for the billboards, yeah, i could've easily done that and maybe i will next time i'm playing with that. :) i just thought it was fairly easy to use a sphere so i just used it for th...

Hey, i built a demo that uses a form of simple portals. It's kinda neat to take a quick look at i think but don't use it as an example for brilliant software design, hehe. /** * @(#)PortalTest.java * * PortalTest application * * @author * @version 1.00 2007/3/8 */ import net.sf.jirr.*; import java.i...

Hey, i read a post on using billboards for 2D objects in 3D space but don't billboards ONLY face the camera? I don't want a screen space 2d rectangle or a billboard (if billboards only face forward) Is there a way to render a texture to a plane? I'm looking for something that renders a 2D object tha...

JCreator's lack of resource hogging makes it very nice while working with code like this. It DOES require you to be somewhat of a better coder as it features no debugging so you're on your own that way, and i've had some issues with the project management but i think the good things outweigh the bad.

sure, i'm always looking to improve so any criticism would be appreciated. It might take me a little while to get enough time to A) create some projects or case examples and B) write up some user friendly tutorials and C) figure out how to post them but i'll keep at it. A couple ideas i came up with...

Hey, i guess you could say that i'm fairly new to Irrlicht and Jirr but i think that i could possibly help with some tutorials/guides. The wiki looks kind of sad right now but i'd like to help change that. Right now i use Irrlicht via Jirr so maybe i should start with some tutorials for that. Not th...

WOW, i just replied to my own post, lol.

any updates on those physics?
