Hey, I wanted to know if I can use a 3D engine for my game. For exmaple, Irrlicht? Or do I need to write everything from scratch? ____________ |

"The game should be made from scratch. This includes all code (external libraries excluded as long as they don't contain whole parts of your game), all graphics, all music, all sound." Irrlicht looks like a very powerful engine. It has many features. I can't say it is allowed. Also keep in mind that you cannot use textures if they aren't made from scratch by yourself. I am not a moderator/competition judge so don't take my word from it. besides, I don't know that program so I don't know it's allowed or not. Keep in mind that 3D games don't get a better score automatically (I hope). (most of them are overrated according to me) [Edited on October 11, 2006 by Dennis] ____________ Kwakkel |

Graphical libraries are of course allowed. The game itself should be made from scratch, not the graphical engines, nor the programming language, nor the computer, nor the molecules. It's not that hard to understand ... is it. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

Quoting Rincewind: Graphical libraries are of course allowed. Rincewind, I don't understand, you just said we have to make our Grahpics from scratch. How is it allowed to use graphical libraries then? (textures etc...) Den ____________ Kwakkel |
