Collision detection

what about collision detection?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.58.79 (talk) 14:16, 22 August 2006

tidied up

okay i've tidied this up a bit, if you have time please insert noteworthy projects back into the list (from the two links provided) as I was too lazy to do this and I deleted the original list of (mostly) vapourware Bitplane 00:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

IPA

Why is it pronounced with x and without the final t? -iopq 09:39, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a pretty decent knowledge of german pronunciation and I am almost positive the IPA in the article is incorrect. Irrlicht isn't pronounced "ick lish" ... not good with IPA, cut and pasted it but should be more like iːʁlɪçt . I am going to change it in the article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.153.117.118 (talk) 21:04, 3 February 2007‎

I would use the same IPA, but I am not as comfortable with my knowledge of German. For one, I wouldn't know if the first vowel is long or not. -iopq 18:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I read up on my IPA and reconstructed the pronunciation. For clarity it is long i, vowelized r, l, short i, ich-laut, t

I think the first i should be a short i, at least I'm from Germany and i would pronounce it this way... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.175.204.19 (talk) 13:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting note about the short i. I wrote the current IPA, but I am not a native speaker. With the way it is spelled, it seems obvious now. Fixing it now.--66.153.117.118 (talk) 17:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Version Update

Version 1.3 of the Irrlicht Engine has been released and so I updated the note in the box. Lucky Foot 19:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll take over.

I've worked with Irrlicht for awhile now, so I seem to understand it pretty dang well. I'll keep the article maintained, and am going to move irrEdit to it's own article, change the irrEdit section to Irrlicht-Based World Editors (To also start an article about Sourena 3D World Editor)

Fair use rationale for Image:Parallax.jpg

Image:Parallax.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Useless

The tone of the fragment "close to being useless" is not suitable. Please rewrite using a stance similar to that of OGRE3D which simply states that this is a scenegraph API (as correctly categorised in the article).Fgenolini (talk) 15:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. Irrlicht is a 3D engine, NOT a game engine. It is no where near useless as a 3D engine, it in fact fulfills that purpose VERY well. --64.201.225.44 (talk) 00:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

Stick your notability arguments here.

Now I don't know how much of the following counts for notability-

If all this isn't good enough, keep in mind Wikipedia:Notability's call for Common sense -- Bitplane 22:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bitplane (talk • contribs)

Irrlicht has been mentioned on the khronos group opengl page also. No argument has been made against noatibility, plenty of arguments have been made about the notability of the engine. I remove the notability tag. --Dwarfpower (talk) 11:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

some of the references are no longer valid — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.89.79.54 (talk) 22:36, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Irrlicht does not mean "crazy light". While there is a word "irre" that means insane, this "irr" comes from the verb "(herum-)irren", to stray (when lost in the woods for example). Legend has it that these treacherous lights lead wanderers away from their paths, so they get lost and die as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.202.36.249 (talk) 14:07, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 6

Reference 6 is not a valid reference. It is impossible to read up on the information and draw the same conclusion as the writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.10.114.218 (talk) 16:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

King Arthur's Gold?

King Arthur's Gold is a commercial game iwth a free edition, available on Win/Mac/Linux, and uses this engine. Inspiration of the game comes from King Arthur's World for SNES. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yura87 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
