Well, Irrlicht is a graphics engine with some "game engine" features like basic input handling. You would need other libraries for things like sound, networking, data handling, etc...

You have to program the game in C++. It's not a drag and drop thing like Clik-n-Play. You need to figure out the parts of your game, how to store that data, when to load what where, etc...

Yeah but there should be some detailed info on "how" and do you know any clik-n-play engine?
