Irrlicht Engine

Your're right, it really needs a bit of explanation but I still have to write that :D I've been a bit vaque about it, sorry for that :D But to write a good introduction to Extenic takes a lot of time.

But to answer your questions:

To make a small game, all you have to do is create a new project ...

For those of you who were sceptic about my idea:

The system is born! The first message has been send through the system! When the world is created it sends an "move entity" message to the entity layer. Its now time to code the layers ...

hehe okay i think i know what you mean

But it's going to be allot of finetuneing to get it all going. But i think that this system can really work.

Okay that's cool Looking forward to that.

But what did you mean with "for some kind of emergence"?

Thanks for your reply! There are a lot of people which are thinking in the same direction as we do. I will do my best at developing a prototype and posting it so you can check it out.

i'll try to finish the design ...

Do you got some details about your project? Design documents, class diagrams etc ... ?

I started writing the design document last night and i thinks it's going to be really cool but can always use some new idea's.

sorry, that guest post was me

forgot one very important task of the layer, AI

Hi!

Just wondering if anybody thought about an extra layer on top of irrlicht which manages an virtual (game) world and lets irrlicht draw it? Irrlicht is an graphics engine and thus is best at rendering the scene and to some extend managing it. Every project using the engine will have to reinvent ...
