Hi Guys,

Well, I started in Irrlicht about 4 months ago and wrote a couple 2D kids games without much trouble. I decided about 1 montn ago, I would try Ogre.

Well, it took me a week to get a 2D pic displayed and I blew two more weeks or so trying to get OpenGUI to work, which I never did.

Ogre is a complex beast. Wow! Even worse, the tutorials I read weren't much help.

It made me appreciate how well put together Irrlicht really is.

Just thought I'd share this experience with the group.
