I have thought of that possibility too. I am doing it for fun right now, but that does sound cool.

Is Wiirlicht still being devoleped?
No post on the blog for nearly 2 months...

I really want my game to be on Wii...

Hi everybody,

since a real 3D engine is missing on cube/wii i've decided to reactivate this project.
Current project status:
Engine renders certain basic object types(sphere, etc.) fine with full GPU support.

shagkur == catron or?
Cause shagkur has only one post, but this project died on us? :O

It'd be awesome to see this

no, i'm not catron, i'm just shagkur.
Normally i'm responsible for libogc, the cube/wii opensource SDK.
I heard of the project a couple of month ago, but like everybody here
noticed the project got stopped by the founders.
And like i stated in my last post, since a real 3D engine for the cube/wii
is missing, i decided to kinda reactivate this project.
IrrLicht itself seems to be a really good engine for this.

Oh, cool, that will make the integration much simpler then

However, the port doesn't seem to have gone too far, yet, when it comes to the hw supported rendering. Let's hope they have at least the screen setup finished...

Awesome, I hope you just make it so we run the same code through a diff compiler and we're off! :O

(Of course controls may need to be modded in the app itself but we'd just need to cope with that ^.^)

(Especially things like cursor would be easy I think)

@hybrid:
Oh well, the original irrlicht port started by catron and put on google code seems to be deleted at all. So i started from the green again.
But if you read the messages back you'll notice that i'm allready able to render on behalf of the GX rather than software rendering.

@kingdutch:
Ofcourse i try to keep the interface as it is so you won't have to change your code too much.

The wiirlicht project on SourceForge hosts the latest code, svn access here:
https://wiirrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... wiirrlicht
Which Irrlicht version did you start from?

Hi,

i started from the latest svn code.

I have built the lib using the svn code, but is there any sort of example program I can build to test it out? I'm not sure what I need to do to see what works with the GX rendering. Also, do you know if this code would build using Nintendos toolchain instead of devkitPro?

Hi,

ohh well, i haven't put my current approach to port irrlicht onto any public repository.
The link you tried is the old one, which only supports softwarerendering for now.

shagkur -
Any chance you could put that work up somewhere. I have access to a Wii devkit and would love to check it out and help out with the port.

Why do projects never work out for me? Well, anyone who wants to take over the project please email me at bmcdorman AT gmail.com. We have done tons of work, and it should be a good base for anyone wanting to finish the job.

Sorry, catron

Its not dead yet! shagkur seems very eager to revive the fading wiirrlicht.

I do plan to FINISH IT. If you would like to help develop the project, please email me (bmcdorman AT gmail.com) (do not PM, I never read it). Half of the problem with wiirrlicht at the time, is that we had to create everything... we were writing our own file system for SD card access, and many other "reinvent the wheel things", as this was before the wii "tool kit" existed

Irrlicht Engine

Wiirrlicht

Wiirrlicht project reactivated

Is there an Example Program?
