I don't really understand your problem. Do you have problem with the C++ syntax?

And what do you mean with "i dont know how to update the Irlicht dll"
You need the Irrlicht 0.6 DLL, included in the Irrlicht SDK

first of all i would like to thank you for the correction

i tought that any one would care for a new prograamer like me
and i will learn more about C++ because i used VB before and i dont realy succeed

on it so i turn to learn the c++....

and now for my topic
i already have my irrlicht.dll so what should i do next
and can you tell me what is the meaning of :

"After we are finished, we have to delete the Irrlicht Device created before with createDevice(). In the Irrlicht Engine, you will have to delete all objects you created with a method or function which starts with 'create'. The object is simply deleted by calling ->drop(). See the documentation for more information".

in the end of the HELLO WORLD tutorial

i think thats all for now

thank you

This means:
You have to free all space, allocaleted (e.g. with new, or with createDevice) in the game.
Normally you do this by calling delete <something>.
Irrlicht is something special. The IUnknown class includes the drop function, which deletes the object.

You simply have to call <something>->drop() to delete it.
