Irrlicht engine - Convert for PB?

Post by dracflamloc »

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/

This is a free graphics engine, I was wondering how hard it would be to implement it's commands into PB. Also it's cross-platform so would a PB port keep this cross-platform compatibility?

I've never tried adding functionality to PB before so any info would be great. Thanks!

Theoretical it's no problem to use the Irrlich engine in PB. Just take the inlcude file and translate it to Purebasic. Use the Header Importer and my very incomplete tutorial I published a few months ago. Also check my "Audiere For Purebasic Pack" to get an idea what you have to do.

As long as ogre isn't (close to) complete implemented yet and mp3/ogg files aren't playable in a modern manner we have to help ourself .:wink:

Seems like other people are already on it, maybe you could contact them.

Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

I just thought maybe they could help each other.

Why are you that upset?

Sorry, please re-read the thread - I never (ever) asked for help on translating include-files... :)

dracflamloc asked for help and you answered.
I only wanted to point him to other threads where a possible conversion
of Irrlicht has alreday been discussed.

WolfgangS calm down! traumatic was trying to point dracflamloc to other threads and coders who are attempting to do what he wants, NOT to flame you! :roll:
