You get points for not dishing out the sheep card

Believe me, it was extremely hard to not to. I had to control my hands from typing it in. Lol

Perhaps you missed it... I know that Since I am in the iPhone beta program. I was only saying that I'm trying to support both toolchains... For the good of the FOSS world.

A'right, just making sure

I'm more interested in the official one though.

An update: http://rafb.net/p/2hyOnC12.html

It's starting to work. I've modified Hybrid's driver, since the EGL is not supported in 2.0 it would not compile. I've put all the EAGL stuff on the device side and used the MacOSX version as a template (EGL relies on the Linux Device).
The device class is not finished, but the barebones are here and it all compiles and run on my ipod.

Cool

Maybe you can give a short video to show it running on an iPod/Phone?
BTW: Since the iPhone does support the BGRA extension we might put the ogl-es stuff into the official OpenGL driver. Once you've figured out which parts of the AEGL part can be open sourced we could also put that into the opengl driver then. I just wanted to avoid to put the color order hack into the core library.

That looks wrong to me. The chip does support multitexturing, with 2 texture units. So either you've done something wrong in the setup or the detection is messed. When I run things I get:

That might be a bad idea. I think the GLES behaves sufficiently different that it will just make a mess out of the regular GL code. Restructuring the GL driver so that there is some common code between two sub-drivers, OpenGL and OpenGLES, would be good.

ogl-es 1.x isn't that different, it's no problem to put the ifdefs into the driver. And the driver init functions are planned to go into the driver for all systems anyway. Currently, only windows has the init code there, but it's really a mess to have so much ogl code in the Linux device.
Unfortunately, it's not easily possible to make an ogl driver stub, because the changes only affect some statements in each method. The duplicated code would be much larger than what could be said to be maintainable. So I still favor the "inlined" ogl-es 1.x driver. For the 2.x version I'm not sure, yet.

By the way I'm finding out it would of great help to have an ETS_PROJECTION_2D (or perhaps ETS_VIEW_2D) so that one can rotate the 2D drawing to support landscape drawing of UI elements.

Wow i am excited to see irrlicht on the iPhone / iPod.

Hi,
sorry for the delay guys.
Aa far as I'm concerned it's Hybrid's nice OpenGL driver, with if-defs to isolate the EGL stuff to be replaced by MobileMacOSX stuff. That is it.
Now the device is in so bad shape, there are ugly workarounds everywhere.
I had trouble getting it to display anything also, the way the tutorial of Irrlicht was doing it was not the Iphone way

Anyway I found out what the problem was partly thanks to grafikrobot (for the compile error) and there it is: a crappy video

It was made with my nokia so sorry for the bad quality. It is just loading the tutorial of Irrlicht. I intentionnaly set a limit of 10FPS, I went as far a 60.

For the Multitexturing bit, I know, but that does not matter as of yet. We'll see the details later. I bet it's a problem of detection in the OpenGL driver with all my if-def + lack of sleep, that could be the cause.

A big issue though is that it's nearly impossible so far to load much resources. What I mean is that the default font does not load (maybe I made another mistake), when loading a Quake level it loads fine but can't load any textures...

Anyway, there is a lot of work, anyone wanting access to the code... well I'll have to post it somewhere, maybe on google code. The only part under NDA would be the EAGL class provided by Apple and that can be obtained from any iPhone SDK.

I own an iphone and you would be amazed at its possibilities in terms of graphics and processing.

I am sure the developers here who are trying this understand it, but just to make sure you should check out modmyiphone.com and maybe checkout some of the 3d games sources in there, not relevant to Irrlicht but they get some crazy amazing graphics and 3d games running there, some parallel of not better than quake 2!

Actually I am thinking about posting that to google code.
Unless there is some other place/people I should submit my code to.

After this week's changes it's actually not that much of a mess. The remaining changes are mainly internal, especially about resource loading and input system.

If anyone knows how to use the built-in classes to load textures in to Irrlicht that could save the trouble of compiling the libPNG and libJPEG and all that stuff.

EDIT: Waiting for Apple answer on that matter.
