Irrlicht Engine

never heard of boo before, but it hardly looks any different from vb .net.... Clearly you know near-nothing about programming. Well, that's my impression anyway. It looks way more like its inspiration, python. maybe a few VB keywords here and there, but what language doesn't?

Anyway, no you dont ...

I use boo now, although I havent used irrlicht in 6 months - a year orso.

anyway, this code looks like you just pooped it through Daniel Grunwald(sp?)'s C# to boo converter. It's using basically none of boo's sexiness.

Untested edit:

namespace HelloWorld
import System
import Irrlicht
import ...

Back in blitz we'd have 8 lights and a bunch of pivots marking lighting positions. Then just find the closest 8 pivots, position the lights, set the color, distance, etc and render.

I'm sure that when you have access to all the code for the engine it should be possible to select the closest/most ...

Nah, its still AI, trust me on that. Its just not a very good emulation of a human (in other words fine for an fps game)

There are of course methods to do better, learning AI like Neural nets and genetic algos.

Most AI implementations in games do not learn and yet are still called AI. By common ...

Well, you're not setting the vertice's position. If the stuff that's comment out doesn't work, ensure its in teh proper format and if not, convert it.

Yeah, the walker should be very entertaining. I bet if you set it up with four legs with some decent power your best walkers for a while will be frog-like jumpers using back legs for propulsion and front for balance.

Very cool implementations of walker evolution can be found in Framsticks - an ...

Neat - this is a classic GA and/or NN example. If you add wall limitations and a location input you can sometimes get advanced behaviours which will flip upside down and bang into the wall. Especailly if you add speed into the fitness algorithm. You'll get ones that will manage to hit the wall at ...

Nice modifications. Rather than doing physics (users will likely overshoot, or be distracted by drift), I'd suggest keeping track of a target angle that moves around the same way as the original and doing a slerp on the qyaternions, if irrlicht has them... Since the physics are already there might ...

The speed is just a bonus to the ease added. If you are already using vectors, great it'll be even faster. If you are creating numbers, great you don't have to punch out the vector initializer, and its faster.

Copy the new/modified header file into E:\irrlicht-0.8\includes

Nice job, nothing new to me though, did this all the time in b3d although it wasn't builtin. With special shaders it'll look spectacular. literally.

Anyway, as far as implementing LOD - it could work, depends on the algo though. Some are optimized to preprocess so LOD might be limited although very ...

Really awesome. We could just make our own shaders as we wish though, right? No need to have niko do all the work as far as that goes. It is convenient though :P

And yes, in the unreal3 engine they are using parralax mapping. Even more advanced is displacement mapping, where it actually juts out so ...

Erm, I know about 5 other people on various forums that have firefox logos in their sigie. Also, Mozilla doesn't really make firefox... They made the core its based on sure, but its opensource. Lost of people other than mozilla have worked on it. Once again, firefox is not a company endeavor ...
