Re: If you wanted a new/updated programming language wrapper

Why reinvent the wheel? Brush up on your favorite language's Foreign Function Interface, then use Frank Dodd's wrapper , written for imperative style languages (but trivially easy to adapt to any language with a full FFI implementation.)

Learning to use FFI effectively gives you a great weapon in ...

Replies: 5
Views: 758

CreateDevice and CreateDeviceEx are currently the only functions exposed, along with some other decorated functions.

I was wondering if the entire api could be exposed to a dllCall from AutoIt. I see BogQ made the post here , demonstrating what I mean.

Those 13 functions are the only ones ...

Expose entire api from dll?

Is there an easy way to expose all of the api functions via the dll? I understand that this isn't the normal way to go about it, but I'd like to have everything explicitly available from the dll.

The purpose is to manage the engine using a scripting language that can load third party dlls.

Code: Select all

HANDLE hFile = CreateFileW(irr::core::stringw(filename).c_str(), GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
Thanks to hybrid, brainsaw, cuteAlien and katya :)

Now on to testing. :D

Both CreateFile and CreateFileA are defined to be CreateFileW by the mobile SDK. I need to convert one parameter to a wide char, but I can't wrap my head around how exactly to do this.

Incredible spam botting. I'd love to see the source code for this particular system. If it weren't so nefarious and stupid, I'd applaud the designer.

Compiling for a mobile device

I'm getting a Samsung Omnia, and I'd like to use irrlicht on it.

I installed the windows mobile SDK, I have VS 9.

After trying to compile the Irrlicht_mobile6 solution, I get these errors:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'signal.h': No such file or directory

On the site it mentions morphing as an animation option. Could you please demo that, or explain what is meant? Thank you!

Awesome library! :)

Transparency issues under windows using hardware.

First, to explain, I'm using an implementation of irrlicht devised for the Windows based scripting language, AutoIt. What I'm working on is basically an animation system for 3D objects rendered on top of normal windows. The transparency effect works perfectly for BurningsVideo driver. It doesn't ...

There's no way in hell a reasonable court would ever allow a proprietary claim on something as generic as The Darkness.

Frankly, it would be like my creating a soft drink and calling it Cola. I don't care who used the name first, it's a descriptive phrase in common use. I can use it to name and ...
