Irrlicht Engine

After two minutes of using Google Chrome , I'm a convert. Even after being a firefox fanboy for three years When I first heard about it I was expecting another Opera, (annoying scrolling, theme doesn't match etc) But this really does make surfing more fluid. However Google probably won't be able to ...

Oh goody a religion thread :evil: A wonderful opportunity to spread the seeds of the semi-religious philosophy I subscribe to! (tl;dr: God is our daughter) On topic: Anything that says "share, spread, feel good" sounds more like an exercise in memetics than something of real value. I'm no...

Get the game fun first, then tinker with the fine details.

The only experience I have had to deal with trees so far was using 3D max's tree script, rendering them and plastering them into the game

Cheap and nasty, but if you do it right the user won't notice it

Those errors look like your trying to compile with an older version of irrlicht,
Make sure the current .a files are in the gcc library folder.

Also use the makefiles in the example folder. If you don't have them like you claim, you somehow downloaded an incorrect/ corrupted version.

It's a nice idea, but I don't see it going anywhere

I'm all for this, under the impression of "lightning fast game engine" seems to make you assume there was already culling in the engine

Before you give your game to friends put all your files in a .zip and rename the extension to something like .data or .game

Then load the zip to the file system when the game starts. It's efficient and most games use the same technique.

LOD for dynamic meshes and hidden surface determination for static meshes


That should be enough for any engine. It's up to the user to make Level of Detail for his meshes, but I think Occlusion culling should be up to the engine. I don't know if irrlicht uses it

tbh I couldn't tell who it was


keep up the good work

.NET is horrible There are many versions. If you develop in .NET 2.5 and the user has 1.0, they're gonna have to download a another version It's not cross compatible Bundling .NET libs with your application is a nightmare If people download your software, and then they have to download more stuff, t...

Gaming isn't dead, a lot of my friends play nothing but PC games. One of my old flatmates bought a PS3 (when they first came out) and hasn't touched it. The thing is that they get bored of modern games in a few days and resort to playing diablo/ AoE and war craft. If they can't find their key from t...

Well our robotics course was the most amount of work i did at Uni... seriously.. i piled so many hours into it trying to get our robot to do what it was meant to and it just wasn't working... But that wasn't really down to programming, rather down to poor equipment we were given to work with, other...

SDL has a mpeg(SMPEG) library which will play mpegs. You can also play AVI's which don't require libraries

There is no easy solution, so expect to be casting arrays of pixels from one format to another. And don't be afraid of #ifdefs. They're not that bad.
