Irrlicht Engine

my advice is learn C++. It wont take very long to learn the basics of it, and it will take you very far. Here is a set of tutorial which are in my opinion very well written and easy to understand. If you need other tutorials, try looking at the C++ page of www.howstuffworks.com or google it. http://...

technically, no. You can render to the NULL device though, which basically renders nothing, and you can then use other irrlicht functions to get the image that would normally be rendered and save to a file.

you have to do a little picking through the three main files, but you can look through the techdemo's sourcefiles to get a good "tutorial" on some fps elements.

that still wont work, maybe because I'm trying to use it on the camera. Here's my code.

ok, that really makes sense, thanks a lot.

is there a way of getting to the individual coordinate variables of a vector3df? I'm trying to get the individual x,y,z values so I can print them to a file but cant get it to work. I looked through the file and it tried accessing them with .X, .Y, and .Z, which looked like the thing to do, but it's...

that sucks. Do you know if I can use C's native functions to get keyboard input inside of main()?

is there a way to manage keyboard input without using the event receiver?

thanks a lot. I figured it couldnt be a console project. You also answered my question of how to get rid of the console window when I got an application good enough that I wouldnt need to look at the output anymore.

no, I chose a windows application and am using main, but it is something with the project because when I open the cpp file I'm working on and build it with the general workspace and no project it works.

as an update: I figured out that it is the folder location that did it. Now my question is, why does it matter?

update again: Now I can't get it to compile anywhere

I read the tutorial on how to do split screen and pasted it into a cpp file to see it in action. It compiles fine but gets a linker error. LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 All the other programs I've tried to do have worked fine, however they have been i...

I did a little checking of different things and the problem is in the object file, not my code. Since it's a compatible file type, what might be wrong that my object can't be displayed by the engine?

I just started looking over Irrlicht a few weeks ago and have just now finished the examples. I'm trying to do some things on my own now. I'm modifying the specialfx demo to have another model be shown as well. It loads, but I cant see it when I run the program. I tried to follow the examples with m...
