In the last post, we have created a basic 3D demo application with Irrlicht, in which we put a stack of crates, and we topple them by shooting a cube or a sphere. In this post, we will try to create an on-screen control so that you can move around with it, like using a [...]
In the last post, we have built the Bullet Physics, Irrlicht and irrBullet libraries together to create a shared library for the Android platform. In this post, we are going to create a small demo 3D game for Android, using the libraries that we have built earlier. This demo is not really anything new, I [...]
