typedefs

Typedefs

Some typedefs, enums and structs which you should change when you change the engine.
They are broadly used.

qEMouseButton

An enum with the mouse buttons.
Contains LEFT_BUTTON, MIDDLE_BUTTON and RIGHT_BUTTON

qString

A string.
std::string

qVec3f

A vector with 3 float values.
irr::core::vector3f

qKeyCode

The enum with all the keycodes.
Used for getting a keyboard key status.
irr::EKEY_CODE

qColor4i

A color with ints for alpha, red, green, blue
Note that alpha comes first here.
irr::video::SColor

qRecti

A rectangle with int values.
irr::core::recti

qTexture

A texture with a loaded image.
irr::video::ITexture

qSceneNode

A general scene node of the graphics engine.
irr::scene::ISceneNode

qCameraSceneNode

A scene node representing a camera.
irr::scene::ICameraSceneNode

qGUIElement

A basic GUI element.
irr::gui::IGUIElement

qGUIWindow

A GUI window which can hold more GUI elements.
irr::gui::IGUIWindow

qGUIButton

qGUIStaticText

A GUI text which is displayed in a rectangle.
irr::gui::IGUIStaticText

qGUIMenu

A menu where you can add items and sub items.
Note that all texts are wide strings here, so you need to convert them with _ to_ wstring(std::string) or add an L before the ".
To add sub menu items, you need to give the return value as parameter, which you become with addItem.
That is graphics engine specific and cannot be changed.
irr::gui::IGUIContextMenu

qGUIFileDialog

A file dialog where you can select a file and press OK or Cancel.
You need to select a file, so it cannot be used for saving files, only for loading.
This is graphics engine specific and cannot be changed right now.

std::list<qEntity*>
