Hi,
I'm scripting in PHP for years. Did allot of VB6 projects. I also program in Javascript and Actionscript and have touched C++. I also understand OOP programming (use it in Actionscript and PHP).
So to use Irrlicht. What should I do first? Learn to program windows applications in C++? or is basic knowledge enough? all the rest you'll learn by example and using?
Tanks in advance.
Windows programming or not?
If you want to get into game dev theres nothing stopping you picking up Irrlicht and a physics engine and start coding and following tutorials to create simple games.
IF however you want to do more advanced projects it is recommended you have an idea of how everything works and some experiance in programming before hand.
Theres a brilliant community here and greate resources else where online. I suggest you follow some tutorials and see what you can do with irrlicht, learn the basics. After that, find info on the areas you don't know about as and when you need them (i.e. memory management, file access etc).
