Irrlicht Engine

I appreciate your replies, and apologize for being snappy earlier, but you still aren't addressing my questions. More specifically: I'm making a top-down 2D game, I want to add a health bar that is a circle around my player object. As the player loses health, the circle disappears from top to bottom...

Thank you for your informative response, maybe it could be accompanied by an actual link to this magical documentation. Obviously I know where to find the function in the API since I quoted it, and if there is more documentation than that then I'm not aware of it. I try to phrase my post in an intel...

Ok, so here's what I've got right now: TileManager tileManager; TileMapNode node; TileMap tMap; ..... void beginGame(IrrlichtDevice* device){ IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver(); device->setWindowCaption(L"2D Graphics"); tileManager.load(driver, "Road.bmp", 32, 32, 10...

Hi, I'm relatively new to 3D programming and I'm having a hard time conceptualizing something. I want to make a game that uses FPS style controls, where S and D rotate my character, and W and S move forward/back. I understand how key inputs work, and rotation and have a decent knowledge of vectors, ...
