Support for 2D transform

With current version of Irrlicht, it's quite difficult to rotate a 2D sprite. Although some developers have provided codes that can do this, it's still not very flexible. I think it would be better if irrlicht video driver supports setting a transform matrix in 2D mode. For example, IVideoDriver wil...

Continue drawing when loading a lot of resources?

Hi I'm worried about (though haven't came across yet) the problem that the main loop will be blocked when loading a lot of textures at a same time (when starting the game). I think I should use multithread, but I noticed Irrlicht is not multithread safe. Also in another post (below) greenya said onl...
