I just wanted to thank this community and engine for the support they gave me when I was learning to program in middle school (6 to 7 years ago). This community and engine stimulated my interest in programming by providing an accessible and easy-to-use 3D engine to play around with. It also challenged me to learn some pretty advanced C++ programming at a young age. I've since built on the knowledge that I gained here to do some pretty incredible things in high school and now in college. Looking back, I can trace all of that energy and passion back to learning with Irrlicht.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. I know I was pretty annoying back then, but my constant pestering eventually got me the knowledge I wanted.
I understand Irrlicht isn't meant to necessarily be educational, but you all are doing a great job at making it accessible to beginners. It's easy for developers to get into the "negative" mindset (with users, bugs, and complaints). Hopefully this post will bring a smile to some of the engine's developers.Braden
