hi,

i finally finished something using irrlicht engine

it's 2d android game
solitaire (70 game types) -- i ported my old solitaire code from the pocket pc (c++)

http://www.munchyapps.com

i stripped out most of the engine features to make it lite. and added a SpriteBatch manager for faster 2d rendering.

there was a post somewhere (irrlicht for android -- i used his branch)
thanks to everyone, especially the irrlicht maintainers.

He said in the first post that he used the one from here, so I would assume he did.

Congratulations and good luck with this application I think breaking into these new markets could be very significant for the engine.

i was able to compile both, with modifications

so yes.. i don't know or i don't remember which one i finally used. --- but does it really matter?

Hey m4rvin,
Could you maybe help out a fellow android/irrlicht developer?. I have a problem that I am having trouble with.
I am using the android port
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=37235

After running on my Motorola Droid for a while the screen goes white. The game is still running because I can hear the sound effects when I toss comets etc. I assume it has something to do with losing the opengl surface. Did you run into this problem?.
It doesn't do it in the emulator and it is proving hard to track down.
Any suggestions on sites to get help?

yes, this has got to do with losing the opengl surface.. and as a result, losing all loaded textures. the irrlicht port didn't reload the texture automatically.

i simply reloaded all the textures when the GLSurfaceView gets recreated.
for my game, i only had 1 texture so this wasn't too difficult to manage.

Oh yes. As you can see in the sources, I already prepared for this situation by adding several flags for the driver to note about lost things. However, even the DirectX surface lost is not yet completely handled, so I didn't even start with the OpenGL stuff.
