Irrlicht Engine

Sorry, but already the very first reply gave you exactly what you asked for ...

Shows how to set up the Visual Studio IDE for using the Irrlicht Engine and how to write a simple HelloWorld program with it.
(from Tutorial)

Sorry but *bump* Maybe this is wrong in the beginners help section?

101% Agree, ALL fine with 1.0 =)

Ouch, big sorry, i overread that small passage they made some games.

"When i have a cool thing and i want to try use it with Irrlicht... what i haev to do?" This just really sounded like another enthusiastic guy, thinking he can go for WoW II or similar ^^

Irrlicht attracts a lot of these guys ...

Sorry but:

You guys need to learn C++. Starting with Irrlicht is, well not even really difficult, but you will then lack awfully in some basics.

There is a vcredist.exe around. It installs exactly the part of the .net framework you need if you compiled your app with Visual Studio Express

It usually comes with your compiler. Have a look in
Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86 (or x64 , machine depending)

But ...

Now, according to the 2nd tutorial a file inside a zip added via
IrrDevice->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("level/00.gxlevel"); should be "found" by the program straight away. Or am I mistaken here already?

Anyway, my Code: IrrDevice->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("level/00.gxlevel ...

Well, doesn't seem so ...

But:
Google can't tell me what stringc is, the MSDN doesn't have any kind of entry about stringc, cppreference.com doesn't know a function called stringc etc etc

And my compiler gives me the following error: \bomberman\IrrMainmenu.cpp(222) : error C2228: left of '.c_str ...

Not sure if we are talking apart.

stringc seemst so be a class or struct. So it should probably be initialized somewhere or am I mistaken? A quick google for "stringc c++ header" didn't quite bring satisfieng results

Where do I take that stringc from?

Well, my problem is simpel. I have created an edit Box and want to read it out using the event handler.

The method "getText" returns a "const wchar_t *". And I have never really come across Unicode. So what exactly is wchar_t? Does it sort off replace the string variable? Or is it a kind of char ...

Mhm, not quite
Guess I really should start off with OOP

I want to make a little GUI for my game and made so far no use of Object Orientation. I guess I understood the basics but now I am at a sort of dead point.

I divided my source into multiple Files and don't quite get the hang on how to do this with the IrrEventReceiver Class. My Code:

[CPP ...

Just wanted to tune in that this looks really interesting. I must admit I havent even heared of the original, but I get reminded of Zelda everytime i see the video

Not quite :cry:

The Load Screen at the very beginning uses this code.
while(IrrDevice->run() && IrrDriver)
{
// Wir wollen nur was rendern wenn das Fenster aktiv ist
if (IrrDevice->isWindowActive())
{
// Später wichtig für Zeitmessung, eher irrelevant im Intro aber wir sind ja ...
