Irrlicht Engine

Hmm... to be honest with you I'm not too sure why, I used the Feb 2007 DirectX SDK, perhaps Irrlicht 1.3 was developed with a slightly older directx sdk and something was either added or changed in the new one, that's all I can think of really. I tested the DLL with alll the examples and they worked ...

tutorial for you!

ah, thanks, I'll give it ago

also, have you heard of Yellow Dog Linux?

ah yeh, I agree with Midnight, if your just learning C++ or any language really, you should really share the source and try and learn from other peoples experience - which will ultimately make you a better coder! I've at times felt dubious about showing code to anyone as I am afraid to be ridiculed ...

Hi guys!

I've never used Linux before, so I would like to know which version of Linux is the best for a beginner?

thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I don't see why people just can't learn C++ if they want to learn a language, I've had experience in quite a few languages and IMO C++ definately is the language to learn to help grasp the fundamental concepts of OOP.

when learning C++ your basically learning the others anyway as the majority of ...

ok guys, as promised!

I have some spare time, so I thought I would get it done now lol

any problems post here!

enjoy!

enjoy the ride

Hi Roxaz,

sure, I will work on a tutorial on how to compile it using CodeBlocks at the weekend, unless someone beats me too it *heehee*.

if you have any problems with it let me know asap

give the man time lol, he can only do one thing at a time, hehe, I'm sure he will get around to it.

hmmm... that's strange, all demos work fine on my system, I tried it with NDEBUG turned on and off, both work flawlessly.

Hi guys,

alot of people are having problems getting DirectX 9 to work in irrlicht, so I've recompiled it with DirectX 9 support. I used CodeBlocks with Mingw32

you can download the lib and dll from:

I have tested it and it works ok, if any problems just ...

I dont use DevC++, switch to CodeBlocks - they are actively developing this and producing updates / patches constantly!

if your refering to the VC++ 2005 express edition Lib files then put the files in your {irrlicht path}\lib\Win32-visualstudio folder and put the DLL in the folder where the exe will be compiled.

have you set VC++ 2005 to run win32 apps first btw? I'm not sure if you need to do this first or not ...

it doesn't matter what you use for first timers in my opinion (I am a beginner using irrlicht and 3d programming btw), what does matter is learning the 'concepts' behind 3d development, you could start out with a language such as blitz or darkbasic to help you concentrate on the concepts first ...
