[Dev-C++] Tools advice?

[<rol...@mi...>]

Hi all

I have recently started a 3d-engine project
using Microsoft tools and DirectX ( web site at
 http://stralberg.kalix.net ). Now I have descided to restart the project 
using Dev-C++
and free tools / libraries + openGL.

It will primary be designed for Windows, because
it's the only OS I'm familiar with.

Some questions on your opinions though before I start.

1. I'm from Sweden and not to familiar with english :)
   Can I name the project woo3d without taking the risk the name sounds 
stupid of funny for native english speaking people. ( woo3d stands for 
WOrld Of 3D )

2. My plan is to use openGL. Have you any suggestions
   of good lib's that will help.

3. What about input (mouse, keyboard etc )? In DirectX
   I used DirectInput. What's the alternatives.

4. What about sound? In DirectX I used DirectSound. Again,
   what is the alternatives?

Thank's for any advice
/Roland

There are so many 3D engines today. Why not to join a team that already 
makes one? Of course only if you wish to make a free engine.
Look at
http://crystal.sf.net
for details on Crystal Space, a free (LGPL), and advanced 3D engine.

Why not call it just WO3D?

Mesa maybe? Again, look at what Crystal Space uses - if you wish to make 
a new engine.

I'll check it out, because what I really wan't is an egnine with
some certain characteristics and support for trueSpace format. The latter
I can fix by writing a trueSpace plugin to export to whatever format they 
are using. My idea was not to write a general 3d-engine, more an engine for 
my requirements and as a sideeffect make it free. But if
that can be done with Crystal or another that's a good idea.
Thanks for the tip

You have my real admiration. It is inside my future scope to play with
graphics myself in the future (with OPENGL 2.x though). By the way have y=
ou
checked Nvidia's Cg? If yes what's your opinion.=0D
