IrrGame - some helper classes

schick · Post by **schick** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 11:58 am

Hey Irrlicht developers,

I have written some classes (the project name is IrrGame) for my new game. Some of you might want to save their time writing their game and keeping their attention towards the gameplay than writting all neccarry classes for managing their game structure.

IrrGameConf:

A easy to use game configuration interface. Nearly everyone needs some configuration in his/her application, this class can handle it for you. Writing and Reading most of the Irrlicht types such as SEvent, dimension2d, position2d, vector3d and so on. I would say, even if ou are not interessed in IrrGame the documentation of IrrGameConf is a must read. Just look at the documentation here:

http://www.bluffel.de.vu/IrrGame/Docu/

For more information about how to work with IrrGameConf look at the SampleGameConf class, it is implemeting a full working model how to save the parameters for starting up the Irrlicht device.

IrrGameStateHandler:

A easy but clear interface for getting a game started. The hole game or application will be logically structured in GameStates. I am using it for my game. It is a clear design, i simply like it.

See documentation for more information.

IrrGameState:

The base class for all Gamestates.

Very useful, thanks.
I' ve start writen your own similar classes, but your seems better and I'm sure that will use it. Also will try your IrrGameStateHandler, because I has many problems related with switching of states.

IrrGame 0.2 is out, now!

- bug fixing (a lot)
- well, thats it.

I also added an example. How to use the IrrGame in your application. There
is only one gamestate, which is a configuration menu. All the naming is related to my own game, sorry i am too lazy to change this. Check it out now, you might want to use it:

I gave it a look and it seems very well done.
But I think you should make some simple and clear tutorials like the ones in the irrlicht homepage, because non everyone (me included) can perfectly understand your library only reading the api (this could be the reason why people ignored this thread).
I think a tutorial would be better than BlockGame's source.

I am also making a game framework based on Irrlicht, but I want to know if I really need it: perhaps I could use yours.

So, please, write something

There are already tutorials around it. Furthermore, BlockGame is based on IrrGame

um.. hrm, I cant seem to access the web page, but for those of you who did.. is this just a COMPLETE rip off of ICE (but with better documentation)?? Or are there some differences?

Could you wait just a bit before you bash the person's work!
