Box2d Wrapper

[monkeycracks]

Well, considering Irrlicht is used primarily for 3d purposes, I doubt that this will be useful to anyone. Here is my simple Box2d wrapper for Irrlicht. I guess I'll call it IrrBox2d just to be like everyone else

Example:

Code: Select all

#include <IrrBox2d.h>

using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace video;
using namespace scene;
using namespace gui;
using namespace io;

#pragma comment(lib, "IrrBox2d.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

int main()
{
	IrrlichtDevice* dvc = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(800, 600));
	IVideoDriver* drv = dvc->getVideoDriver();
	IWorld* w = createWorld(dvc, 1.0f, dimension2d<s32>(800, 600));
	IEntityManager* em = w->getEntityManager();

	em->createStaticEntity(position2d<s32>(5, 500), drv->getTexture("platform.png"));
	em->createDynamicEntity(position2d<s32>(5, 5), 1.0f, 0.3f, drv->getTexture("red.png"));
	em->createDynamicEntity(position2d<s32>(5, 305), 1.0f, 0.3f, drv->getTexture("green.png"));
	
	while(dvc->run())
	{
		drv->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0, 0, 0, 0));
		w->update(1.0f / 60.0f, 10);
		drv->endScene();
	}
	
	w->remove();
	delete w;
	return 0;
}

Suggestions are welcome. I probably left some things out of the code by mistake or just did things in an ugly way. Feel free to comment on it.

That's pretty cool monkeycracks, have you ever thought of trying to integrate that with PhoenixGL.

A great wrapper, but it would be cool to see some more interesting demos.

[monkeycracks]

Sorry I just got finished and was really excited. I'll make something more appealing later.

Edit: Only made it with Irrlicht because my next probably-going-to-be-deleted project is using it.

Ah, okay. Care to talk about that project?

[monkeycracks]

Some ridiculous game where animals with ridiculous proportions blow each other up. 2d. Kinda like Worms except with cats, dogs, and probably cows.

Edit!
Ouch, just realized I can't rotate 2d images with Irrlicht unless I code something which will be ridiculously annoying.

Time to start, get frustrated, and switch to the engine you sent

Edit2:
Updated solution file to not be broken

[monkeycracks]

If anyone's interested I'll extend this project, but I'm done with it for now.

[Halifax]

Yeah, not to sway you or anything, but you would get direct support from myself, and Jon, on any of your questions about PhoenixGL, if you used that.

[monkeycracks]

Yeah I'll probably go with that sooner or later. I haven't slept in forever though so I need to rejuvenate.

[monkeycracks]

Well I was going to attempt to pick this up since I was enlightened with this post : http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... gerotation

But I can't seem to get it to work. Here is my test application.. Using latest SVN

Code: Select all

#include <Irrlicht.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace video;

int main()
{
	IrrlichtDevice* dvc = createDevice(EDT_OPENGL);
	IVideoDriver* drv =  dvc->getVideoDriver();

	ITexture* tex = drv->getTexture("red.png");

	while(dvc->run())
	{
		drv->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0, 0, 0, 0));

		drv->draw2DImageRotation(tex, rect<s32>(50, 50, 82, 82), rect<s32>(0, 0, 32, 32), 0, 1, SColor(255, 255, 255, 255), false);
		///drv->draw2DImage(tex, rect<s32>(50, 50, 82, 82), rect<s32>(0, 0, 32, 32));

		drv->endScene();
	}

	dvc->drop();

	return 0;
}

It still says the image is loaded, but it only draws if I use the commented out function instead of the new one.

Check out the sources for the Magic2D library (Somewhere on this forum.)

[monkeycracks]

Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to downgrade to Irrlicht v1.1 to use it. This should be fine though since I'll mostly only be using 2d functions. Sample application crashes with latest SVN so I'll try 1.1 when I get home.

Hopefully I can get this to work, I really haven't enjoyed my adventures with HGE so far

[FuzzYspo0N]

seeing the source would be for modding yours to have extra functions, not using an older library although 1.1 is limited it works fine for 2d with magic lib

[monkeycracks]

The link to the source was dead, so I couldn't compile it to be used with 1.4. Works like a charm with 1.1 and I have no problem stepping back a bit.

Dear all,

the link provided above is dead

I can not download irrbox2d.h wrapper, the link is dead. Please, resubmit it for download

Thank you in advance.

I only have cobra's version in the irrlichtdemo's repo on github. please repost if found.
