Sorry to bump the old topic.
I tried your code the animation was perfect but the image is way too blurry comparing to the original even when I set the scale to 1.
Anybody knows how to fix this?

Quite possibly are you using a NPOT texture?

I resized the texture to 256x256 but it's still very blurry.
Here's my code and texture:

Hmm I don't know, but may I recommend PhoenixGL which is built specifically for 2D games. And from the looks of that texture it appears that is what your trying to do. It has an API similar to Irrlicht, and is in fact easier, in my opinion, and has built in support for sprites, animation, tilemaps, and polygonal collision detection.

Thanks halifax. That library looks sweet. I just realized that you are 1 of the project owner.
There's still a lot to be done though:
-Visibility
-Better memory management, like reference counting(boost::shared_ptr??)
-More texture format(devIL??)
-VFS

Your library looks promising. I decided to use it for my project(a modern /dark fantasy roguelike).

I'm quite busy but if there's anything I can do I'd like to help.
