irrlicht with FreeBasic

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 1:32 am

would there be a way to bind Irrlicht for FreeBasic, if so, how would i do that, because I would rather use freeBasic www.freebasic.net with irrlicht then c++...

Nope, not yet. That is of course, unless you write a wrapper for it which no one has done yet.

Basic is mostly useless for large scale products now...As far as I know...VB only just became object oriented this year. (eugh...vb

) it worked when there was only 1Kb of RAM on the Best computers...but it hasn't changed enough to stay fully compatable with PC's. (soz...i get emotional about BASIC

)

Freebasic is powerfull

The lack of C++ classes/templates & co. doesn't mean you can't produce professionel stuff with freebasic. With fb 0.14b you can do almost all coding you can do with C. Ok, I must admit that I'm a big freebasic fan

As I've posted in the official fb forum, I'm writing such a wrapper. But as I'd like to provide some irrlicht classes (vectors, triangles, ...) as freebasic types, it's a lot of extra work. If all works as expected, I'll release the wrapper till new years day.
