Is it possible to replace the current 2D lib by a 2D OGRE wrapper ?
It could allow to have GUI, particles, physics, cameras and sound 3D for 2D games.
2D OGRE wrapper

Re: 2D OGRE wrapper
There is no "2D Ogre". Ogre is a 3D engine.
There may be addons or something out there to help facilitate using the 3D engine to render 2D stuff, but that's the best you will find.

What i mean is use the same technique for sprites 3D but with OGRE's meshs.
Re: 2D OGRE wrapper
Just for the record, the OGRE 3D engine come with a 2D overlay rendering system, allowing to add 2D stuff over the 3D scene. But this feature is not available from PB for the moment. And I don't think it will be added anytime soon. Maybe for PB V5.90 or 6.00Zach wrote:There is no "2D Ogre". Ogre is a 3D engine.

Unfortunately, the C++ Object Oriented Programming is the most popular approach today. The biggest problem with OGRE 3D engine is the C++ OOP source code which is not the best thing when we create program with a procedural language like PureBasic. We need to create a wrapper to use it and if the wrapper is not complete or some needed features are missing, tough luck.
Nevertheless, the work has been done for the v4.60 is a great improvement over the previous version. Congratulations to the development team for their work even if it is still much to do.
Best regards.
