I doubt it very seriously. Since it is a C++ API, i don't think you can use it with delphi. But since I'm not familiar with delphi, I'm not totally sure.

Well actually i think that if Niko(or someone else) manage to convert the Irrlicht dll into a ATL/COM server dll , it will be possible to use it in whatever COM supported languge including Delphi,VB6,C++ Builder and even all the .NET languages trough their COM interop.
BTW Don't forget that DX is COM based itself.

Is'nt it beautuful to make Irrlicht the most powerful and portable game engine that runs and can be compiled from MacOS through .NET to Linux.

Would be nice. But I have absolutely no time for this. I thought already of creating a wrapper for java and .NET for Irrlicht, but it is a lot of work. Everyone is welcome to do this. I could imagine a separate project on sourceforge for this, like venom.sf.net.

I haven't even looked at the engine yet (its still downloading) but I'm willing to bet it could be used with delphi if someone were willing to write either a header translation or compile the right type of object file for linking. Has anyone considered doing this? I doubt my skills would be upto the task, but I'm so impressed by what I've read on this site that I'm considering giving this a try. Please let me know if such an atempt has already been started Craig@Genieos.biz

Where is such a DLL? That would help my friend a million. Thanks~ John DiSanti
