IrrLicht in Pascal

Post by MaxJag »

Hi,

I am a Delphi programmer and I am wondering if there is a way to port the engine to use in Delphi. I noticed that the object types begin with a capital 'I', which in Delphi is used to denote an ActiveX Interface. Is this true of this situation? any helpful insights?

AFAIK, the I terminology in Delphi actually has nothing to do with ActiveX. It simply denotes an Interface class. I'm sure it's used for ActiveX components so maybe this is where the problem lies.
Again, as far as I know, no-one has any plans to port Irrlicht to Delphi. One possible method would be to obtain a compiled version of the DLL (I guess a Borland C++ compiled one would make sense) and link to the DLL from Delphi. The exact mechanics of this utterly escape me right now, but I'm sure you could figure it out.

Another possibility would be to use Irrlicht.NET with Delphi.NET.
