Development of thinBASIC_Irrlicht support module

No worries, vaporware is ok too, at least we know it is in the future at some time. Still very exciting news!!

Roberto, I don't know if your schedule got too busy, but haven't heard anything about irrlicht for thinBasic for awhile.
Irrlicht is a neat engine as I am tinkering with it in c++. Other than maybe python, I don't know of any other scripting languages that support it.

What you have done so far is very clever in taking an object oriented sdk and making it usable in a non oop language.
Anyways was just wondering what is in the plans for it in the future?

Hi Ken,

given that you also know C/C++ language I could give you (of course if you want) the source of ThinBASIC_Irrlicht support module, so you can take the charge of module development.
Please let me know.

Roberto

Great idea Roberto.

Roberto, I am not good enough to probably do something like that as it took me awhile to figure out what you were doing. But on the otherhand it would be fun to try as long as I could ask for help often when stuck.

I know the biggest thing for me will be taking the oop aspect and making it procedural which you seemed to have mastered!

So what is the state about this? Is Kent now actively working on this module?

No Mike, I am not.

I message Petr about this. In playing with Irrlicht in c++ and searching for help on the forums, they have some really rude obnoxious people on there that makes going to the forums pretty uncomfortable. I know I would be very reluctant to ask for any help on there.

I got spoiled by the forums here and the old pyxia forums as well as coding monkeys. Although coding monkeys gets heated up at times, Blue Steel seems to get things cooled down.

The irrlicht forums do not match the quality of irrlicht itself and it is a shame.
