Irrlicht Engine

You're trying to develop a console game and don't know what a static library is?


Oh dear...

How did you get your XBox Dev kit?

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to wrap something like Tao.SDL and Tao.OpenGL rather than having to hit the raw WinAPI functions directly?

I don't know if this XNA stuff will work with mixed mode assemblies. If it does (but I doubt it), this would mean that Irrlicht.NET would run on that platform, (maybe with some modifications) which would be great. and also a good reason to invest some more time in Irrlicht.NET again. :)

IIRC the ...

I'd like to explore the possibility of using Irrlicht on the GP2X handheld console; the small size and decent speed of Irrlicht would make it an excellent candidate for games. Naturally, the DX and OpenGL renderers are out, but i'm sure the software renderer would be useful, at least until a native ...

What changes are we to expect in the way of architecture? Right now it seems as if V2.0 will be just 1.0 with extra features. I pretty much epxected a 2.0 version to be almost a whole new engine in terms of architecture...

Well, I want to create a camera like in Splinter Cell.
The cam rotation around the y axis works.
The cam rotation around the x axis works.
But both together screws the movement up !!!


Sounds like a case of Gimbal lock to me. I've not used them (yet), but it should be possible to create a ...

Irrlicht is perfect for someone like me who always tries to reinvent the wheel with no success. It's allowing me to prototype ideas with little trouble, not losing any real time if the idea doesn't pan out. Irrlicht is brilliant!

I've just started using RakNet too as one of my ideas is small a ...

I've made the update and it is better to work with.

The SEvent::JoystickInput struct now has a ButtonId member and the input events are simply EJIE_BUTTON_LEFT_UP and EJIE_BUTTON_PRESSED_DOWN. Note the ButtonIds always ...

I'm thinking that for the next 'version' of this, I'll kill the individual numbered button pressed events and just have a single EJIE_BUTTON_LEFT_UP / EJIE_BUTTON_PRESSED_DOWN event and have a u8 ButtonId in the Event data section. This way, it allows for as many buttons as possible without having ...

I made a mod

This is more of an experiment than a full blown addition, but I've just extended the basic Irrlicht IEventListener and Win32 Irrlicht Device to add basic joystick support.

I apologise for the cross-post, I posted this in the wrong ...

I thought it was more defensive, so if another company patents something a MS product uses (eg: XML) then they can't sue MS and force them to pay through the nose. I don't think it's going to hurt anyone really, especially us small guys.

Can they make a commercial game? yes
Will a publisher publish their game? maybe - it would have to be very good or you could approach a budget publisher. you could also release it as shareware - take id software for an example.

I don't really see the ID comparison as being valid these days. The ...

What problems are you having, exactly?

Sai, dont forget the disadvantages of using a singleton:
* cannot be sure when it will be initiated
* cannot be sure when it will be destroyed
* cannot be sure who will use it

Definitely. I used Singletons in my games for a couple of years and often found that their use encouraged laziness and ...
