Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
I'm sad, even people younger than me (15) know C++, and the only thing I know how to use is MMF...
Anyway during the time Irrlicht is being developed (or the realisation of its abandonment) I've got an idea for a similar extension (but different enough for people to use each separately)
One of the reasons I wanted Irrlciht is not for the 3d, but for the 2d, MMF is great, but lets face it the rendering engine is pathetic, personally I expected MMF2 to be able to do the same sort of graphics like Soldat (maybe without Anti aliasing) or at least Maple Story.
Anyway what would be good is if someone made an object that made use of Irrlicht's 2D hardware acceleration abilities. All we need is sprites, particle effects and shaders (and probably other stuff I've forgotten).
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
I think it will be hard to find a better 2d engine (software accelerated) that is better than MMF2's. I agree that for moderns 2D games it might require more than that. Lets hope Yves and Francois comes up with something brilliant in the near future.
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
In a little far futur I think a new rendering engine (DirectX) will be available for MMF2. But actually, the rendering software engine of MMF2 is really good and can be ported to other platforms...
So the futur of MMF2 is good. :)
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
Sorry to resurrect an ancient topic, but is this object still being made?
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
no, turbo is busy with other things but if he gets enough time, he will continue
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
Yes, I am making it right after I finish the physics extension.
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
Wow cool. I'm gonna be so glad when it is finished.
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
we should invent a nobel price of extension making just for you vortex2 !
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
forgive my ignorance, what is this object?
Re: Is the Irllicht object still being made?
Sounds nice :) You'll continue on Turbo's code... or restart from the bottom?

Btw, nice Sphax, when did u become a moderator? :)
