Hi,

I'm sorry for bothering with this question that was propably asked several times before. Still I wasn't able to find a satisfying answer :

How to actually learn the Irrlicht Engine ?

I worked through the tutorials and i got vague knowledge of some basic methods now but not enough for actually working with the engine. I also tried the API Doc. I read something about the namespace contents etc. It is propably helpful for upcoming questions during programming but not for learning the engine. (At least for me isn't) . I also searched the net and didn't found much useful. Can someone tell me how to really learn the engine?

Thanks

Hi,

You may look at tutorials : http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tutorials.html

Also wiki : http://www.irrforge.org/index.php/Main_Page

Code snippets forum may help you : http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... um.php?f=9

"Faq, Howto's" forum may help you : http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... um.php?f=5

Try looking examples in the forum, try to find others questions.

I recommend you to create simple scenerios. For example try to move camera with arrows, try to select nodes with mouse, try to move selected nodes with arrows ...

Good luck.

It depends on what you mean with "Irrlicht Manual"

There is an online documentation at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/index.html
Also an offline documentation which is located at the "doc" folder in the sdk.
