Hi,
I’m new to Irrlicht Engine and just started going through some old tutorials.
Most of them seem quite dated though. Are there any guides or example projects people still recommend for beginners today?
Thanks!
Good way to start learning Irrlicht today?

Hi!
The engine is quite dated. Only hint I can give you is - don't work with Irrlicht 1.8, but use the svn trunk version: https://sourceforge.net/p/irrlicht/code/HEAD/tree
It has at least some more examples. Read through example 01 as that gives you all the basics. Then check which of the others is the closest to what you need and start with that (no need to go through the rest in order).
And if you have any specific questions/troubles you can always ask in the forum here.
