Hehe, I like the 'Irrlicht Rules' Texture.

Your work seems to be very complete, and hey - I has examples and all. Did you think of creating an own page for your 2d class collection? And do you have a name for it?

why not?
i have purchased http://www.dev.your3dgames.com, it has old russian blitz basic stuff on it... probably will set it up soon and support irrlicht with 2d stuff... good idea

nice. and hurray for commented code! though i dislike all the global functions for your main app; I prefer the CMainApp class-type method of keeping them all together

warning: the demos leave dead programs listed in my program list after the window closes. I had this problem at one time-- when calling device->closeDevice() in my code. Instead, I have built into my framework to set a boolean destroyMe to true when I want to close the program. Then on the next loop if that is true, it will call device->closeDevice() and NOT run().. this solved the problem for me-- and can be seen in my ICE framework:

Also, I am trying to build your source (in DevCPP).
you seem to be including "Utilities.h" which is not included with the .zip

wow, your ICE framework is rather a complicated thing, I have to check it out...

I've set up my web-site:
http://www.dev.your3dgames.com
It has some my 2d stuff, going to add much more.

2NIKO: Would be extremely great if you place a link to my website!

Could someone send me a Dev-C++ compiled version of the Irrlicht.DLL ? (I can't get a DLL when compiler.) I'd like to have the FogClass and the SpiriteClass

its not too complicated, though it does have a couple layers of inheritance here and there. Its very clean code, though, and once you get the hang of it very powerful: its a lot less complicated then the spaghetti mess people tend to make of large programs with lots of different states all handled in one function. Using a completely different class for each state will force you to recognize explicitly what your game states are, and will help you make sure you enter and exit each state cleanly (particularly by helping you remember when to create and delete your objects).

I can explain it all a little more if you want, but I'd rather do that in the original thread, so I dont pull this one off topic.

Nice, thanks! I'll add the link with the next Irrlicht.sf.net update, could take some time, because the sourceforge servers currently don't let me in..
