Irrlicht Engine 0.7.1

Welcome the Irrlicht Engine. Please note: This is a non-SDK-release of the engine. If you want to start developing applications with the Engine, please download the full SDK. Try for example version 0.7.

The non-SDK-release of the Irrlicht Engine was made avaiable for letting experienced developers be able to use features of the engine before their first stable release. It also includes some bug fixes, but there are no examples, documentaion and media in it.

There are three precompiled versions of the Irrlicht Engine in this package: A Dev-C++ version , a linux version and a a Visual Studio version. You will find the matching libraries in the /lib and /bin directories.
