Irrlicht Engine

Hey

My English is not the best at the level of comprehension, so please, I am a novice programmer until I have plans to buy the book in Symphony in C + + standard, and here was my only question is whether this book is needed and must also be familiar with OpenGL or DirectX to create a small game for irrlicht.

In all honesty you can learn any language or library from resource on the internet. A good book is always nice but not needed.

Below are two good sites to teach you c++.

http://www.cprogramming.com
http://www.cplusplus.com

Now understand they don't go to far into detail but if you have experience with other languages you should catch on fast.

I understand, but I got no answer to my question as to whether I need to know OpenGL or DirectX to write a game in irrlicht

You do not need to know opengl or directx to make a game with irrlicht . Irrlicht handles all these things for you. However if you wish to change something within irrlicht you may need to have some opengl or directx knowledge.

which normally beginners won't need to do so (don't scare him!)

Well i read the previous comments and i am glad that a beginners are guided very well, but i would like to know that is it necessary to have a basic knowledge of C++.

Yes, you will need to know C++. You do not need to know OpenGL or DirectX.

Thank you very much, sorry if my sentence was not correct I am a Pole, and begin to learn where I can find documentation for irrlicht and propose at the beginning.

I found the best way to learn was to try and look through the examples, if you have a specific problem you will almost always find someone else has had it and a search will locate it in the forums.
