Irrlicht Engine

My node is a double quad ... representing a CARD. On each quad, I have a texture of a card. I can move the node with the animator or by myself but the "fluidity" of the texture is not beautiful. I tried on 3 different computers (different video cards) and it is always the same. I will try ...

When I use the method named createFlyStraightAnimator() on my Quad, the texture (image) is not "beautiful" when the duration of the movement is less than 4 seconds from position A to position B. My FPS (frame rate) is about 160 and I think it is good. 5 seconds and more give me fantastic i...

Hi ! There is a beautiful (incredible) chapter about STEERING BEHAVIOR for character or any "object" that move in a video game. With VECTORIAL MATH (physics like speed, acceleration, position, force, mass, inertie, etc.), you can do activity like: FLEE, HIDE, PURSUIT, EVADE, INTERPOSE, etc...

Finally I did It. I have created a real CARD 3D-Mesh (rectangular form which is very thick).
I can do anything with it in a 3D Space.

I will do my game in 3D.

Thank you a lot.

Hi guys ! What is the best way (technology) to represent CARD in a card game ? For now I use a Billboard object (instance) for each card but I want to do some special effect like flipping and turning the card... something like 3D card but you know, the card object is something "thick", ver...

Do you have a light in your scene ?

You also need a camera.

I need to validate for my camera (I think this is a normal camera scene node). This is OK for the near-far value. Thanks. My problem is with billboards that are one behind the other. If I want to show many cards in one hand, I need to control the Z-Buffer (and x-y coordinates to move a little bit th...

I have created a "virtual" world of size 1000x1000 and I use a viewport equal to the size (resolution) of the screen to see this world. I use OrthogonalMatrix to do projection of 3D world on a 2D screen. Until then, everything work in any screen resolution. I can put some IBillboardSceneNo...

Super !

Now I understand. I did not know this option about setAspectRadio on a camera object.

Thank you very much.

Ok I did the code proposed by rogerborg... it's very fine. Now my question or comments is the following. When we change the screen resolution, the ratio is not always the same. A screen of about 1440x900 pixel has a ratio of 1.6 and a screen resolution of 800x600 is 1.33. I execute the code of Roger...

Wow great !

For sure I will try this. This is what I am looking for, keeping good looking, good sizing, proportionnal design, etc. even if we change the resolution of the screen.

Thank you a lot !

Thank you JP !

I just wanna be sure that I was not wrong. Every book I read talk about 3D, nothing more about 2D. So I was looking for the good technique. I will continue this way and see what happen with resolution change.

Thanks.

Hi folks ! I work on a board game project. I use some GUI stuff and I use billboards (or quad) for any other animation. For sure, as you expect, everything (or nearly) is 2D. This is a board game. The idea is that the player (camera) is over the board (top view). QUESTION: In all game, we need a CAM...

Hi JP !

Very beautiful look your card game. I did not found any playable demo or code source in your web site. Is it open source ? Did you finish this project ?
Did you draw yourself your cards ?

Thanks for your info.

Hi !

You have no response from anybody because IRRLICHT .NET is not more supported. You start a project with a dead library. If you know C++ or you want to learn it, start your project with Irrlicht, the "original" one in C++.

Sorry.
