On Linux does irrlicht require X Windows to be installed? That is, with a minimal linux installation, can I run irrlicht from the console?

Aftter some experimentation this morning it seems that Irrlicht depends on X-Windows

Hi, you can run Irrlicht without X, by using the DT_NULL device. This
doesn't draw anything, but all features are available. Like loading textures and models, creating a scene graph, doing collision detection and so on. To let the engine be able to draw things, you need to have an X Windows be installed.

What about implementing an ASCII renderer?

You can make an Super_3D_Super_FX game with "mkdir" and "sudo" frags.

OpenGL renders OK the command line threads, very impressive, guy.
