I'm stumped again. I am working on a small space shooter. When things got too complicated (:roll:), I chopped up my code and turned it into a class structure. The result: bugger won't run anymore, the screen would turn black at start, then crashing back to desktop. I was commenting out and commenting out, and putting in some very badly written logfile, and after reducing the entire program to one class which does basically nothing except creating an irrlicht device and running it until somebody presses alt+f4, i found out that somehow, my rendering loop which is nothing out of the extraordinary is the reason. The shortened version of my code is 3 files, I am including those into this post, and also the generated log (you will see that it should be much longer if everything would work as planned). yes i know the logging is worst coding ever, i was just hacking it together in 2 minutes
Oh yeah, working title of my game is "Beer" (dont ask).// main.cpp
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "beer.h"
CBeer Beer;

if (!Beer.Init())
{
return 1;
}
Beer.Run();
return 0;
}

// log.txt
Logfile created.
CBeer Instance created.
Initializing Event receiver...done
Creating Irrlicht Device...
Event Handler started.

Event Handler started.

As you can see, there should be at least "Render Loop left." and "Device dropped, shutting down." after this, but it isnt. Please tell me it's just me being a n00b again
