Irrlicht Engine

Yeah, about the best thing that you could hope to do would be to learn C or C++, as that's the language Irrlicht is originally designed for, as well as the fact that it will allow you to do cross-platform programs. If you really want to use VB.net to make a game, C++ really isn't so much different ...

That what you're looking for?

For mapping, a friend of mine once did just 2D image controls with Visual Basic, having 2D overhead tiles representing 3D tiles for his maps, and placing NPCs & such in a similar way. Another way to do mapping would be to do something similar to what I found in a Dark Basic Pro tutorial; map out 1 ...

hells yeah, and I'm getting it tomorrow with my birthday money (this friday - 17 )

I do a lot of random things during 3rd-period Geometry, it's so easy & boring, I once wrote a minigame in Dark Basic code (consisting of primitives only) rather than listen to the teacher >_>

Although I do believe the game is going to be excitingly beautiful, and I do have the Collector's Edition on Pre-order through EB Games (woohoo! :D), I try not to let myself get hyped about upcoming games (AOE 3 and Oblivion are exceptions to some degree, and AOE 3 delivered. Collectors Edition for ...

Say you're creating a game like Fire Emblem, but you dont know how to determine what squares a player can and can't move to based on their position and their speed. This should help

Lets say that we have a 5x5 tile map, and the player can move up to 2 squares per turn.

Map:
0 [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
1 ...

What, exactly, are you having problems DOING? Are you getting errors? What files are you including, which compiler you're using (Code::Blocks can use a few different compilers), you have to give a lot more information before anybody can help you.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but you could define a number of audiere objects (a decent number would be somewhere less than 100) as an array, then have it do a for loop to find the highest one not playing

ie: for Guest's code


audiereob[100] = "gunshot.wav"

if shoot

for(int i = 0; i ...

You could also use bones, and then insert simple invisble boxes in paces like the head bone. Then you simply check for colision with any of these boxes.

Yeah, that would possibly work, having it set up with the joint for the head as well so that you can have the head move and the collision box ...

Also, look on their plugins page. They have a plugin for Cartography Shop 4 exporting

Edit
Cancel that, that's an importer >.>
