Anyone heard of IrrKlang?

| http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang/index.html sounds great. free to use. dll-style. anyone who is capable of writing a wrapper for this? |
| ||
| Sounds interesting... Does it make heavy usage of callbacks?? Does it requires function pointers? If it's a no to these 2 questions then you can write a Userlib .decls, no wrapper needed. |

| Does it make heavy usage of callbacks?? Does it requires function pointers? So far, I haven't found it using either. If it's a no to these 2 questions then you can write a Userlib .decls, no wrapper needed. Unfortunately, that's not the case. That only works if the dll exports plain c-style functions. irrKlang exports namespaces containing classes containing overloaded methods.. no way you can do that in a DECLS. I may write a BlitzMax wrapper at some point, but since I no longer use ( or indeed appear to possess ) B3D, I won't be doing a B3D version. Doesn't seem overly complicated so far, but again, I'm just reading not doing, so it could be more difficult than it appears. |

| i can't code c++. thats my problem. we'll see... |

| Neither can I. That's the good thing about simple wrappers. You can learn enough C/C++ syntax in an afternoon to figure out the basics. And you can always grab other people's open-source wrappers and see how they do it. In retrospect, I should have done this. Would have made things even easier because I ended up figuring a lot of things out with trial and error only to end up doing them in almost exactly the same way GMan did with his wrappers. For what it's worth, I have no problem with anyone downloading any of my wrappers just to ruthlessly steal my wrapping techniques. I would if it were me, so how can I complain? :P |
