Irrlicht Engine

broodingspark, come on and join us at the irc.

Thanks,

I think for my own sanity/ productiveness, I'll have ...

"How do you think I could manage NPCs position (server side) and respect the world constraints? (wall, Ypos...)"

I would set up as a two dimensional binary collision array, personally.

"I could use bullet on client side and do a small server side check, but NPCs are moved only by the server ...

for quick little questions like that, I recommend irc:irc.freenode.net/irrlicht

some nice art btw

The first is simple:

I'm playing around with the custom scene node tutorial, and trying to get it to draw a cube instead of the ...

"1. How should I manage collision between players or NPC and world? Do I need a physic engine? The collision must be managed by the server. (to avoid cheat etc)"

I would suggest that you not implement physics on the server, but restrain that to a simplified form of wall collision (your server ...

I would suggest DevC++, Bloodshed. It's one of the most friendly and simple to get started in environments I've ever used (and it's free).

Just follow that tutorial and you'll be on your way in no time (or rather, a couple hours, max).
