Irrlicht Engine

IrrLua is officially dead. I'm done with making language bindings for Irrlicht. I've moved on to different things. I hope everyone that used it had fun with it

For future Lua support in Irrlicht I would suggest the irrswig project mentioned above.

The new version is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/irrswig (check svn) It's still a work-in-progress, and even the new version hasn't been touched in a while. Only a couple examples work. tolua++ is broken. It can't parse c++ correctly and I gave up on doing it manually every Irrlicht release....

After examining the source of all the game engines I could find I stuck with Irrlicht because I thought the source code was the cleanest and closest to my own C++ style. I highly recommend looking through some of the header files of the other game engines and compare them to Irrlicht.

As far as integrating it with Irrlicht, I don't see the need for a branch. I've been having good success using Lua and swig to interface with Irrlicht. There have been a few difficulties, such as with nested classes, but I've been able to use the workarounds that are available with swig. swig is ve...

Yeah, in the end it's not a good idea. :roll: The reason for the lgpl is because it's the least common denominator. You can add zlib licensed code to lgpl'd code but not the other way around. I actually like the irrlicht license better. At least It's better for developers. "you have gotten me i...

Sweet I don't feel so bad dropping my old binding.

Support Irrlicht! Buy a t-shirt!

Gaining passion back for a project? Yeah somebody help me :) irrlua is still at irrlicht version 1.1. I've been working on a lot of different things and it's hard to get back into it. As far as I know my previous patch brought IrrLua up to 1.2 in a reasonably complete way. http://irrlicht.sourcefor...

" [IRRspintz] Irrlicht with different development priorities. "

Just curious, what are those different priorities? I couldn't find a rationale for irrspintz on your site.

Is it possible to use irrLua for scripting in a host irrlicht application? Like creating the device and stuff in c++ and the use irrlua to do just some things, like, adding scene nodes from within a lua script executed by the host? Yep it sure is. You don't need to use the lua interpreter to use ir...
