开源3D游戏引擎Irrlicht简介

Irrlicht简介

Irrlicht在国内也被叫做“鬼火”引擎，是一款用C++编写的开放源代码的高性能游戏引擎。而且是跨平台的，具有很好的移植性，Irrlicht支持OpenGl、Direcx3D渲染，引擎本身也实现了一套自己的渲染系统。在商业引擎中能够找到的艺术特性，Irrlicht基本都支持。目前有很多项目中都使用到它，Irrlicht社区也比较活跃，可以在互联网上找到不少Irrlicht增强工具，例如irrEdit、irrKlang等。在众多开源游戏引擎中，Irrlicht也是比较受笔者青睐的一款。

Irrlicht下载与使用

Irrlicht目前最新稳定版本为1.8.1，项目发布在sourceforge平台上，用户可以通过sourceforge网站首页面搜索功能找到Irrlicht项目下载地址，或者从Irrlicht官网获取下载链接。

1.目录结构

解压后目录结构如下：

bin：不同平台编译Irrlicht生成的可执行文件和动态库文件放在该目录中。

doc : 该目录中为Irrlicht API文档。

examples ： Irrlicht官方提供的案例程序存放在该目录中。

include ： 存放引擎所有头文件。

lib : 该目录存放Irrlicht引擎编译过后生成的静态库。

media ： 官方案例所需资源文件存放在此目录中。

source ： 存放引擎源码。

tools : 该目录下为Irrlicht引擎相关工具。如irrEdit、GUIEditor等。

2.官方案例

Irrlicht使用起来是非常方便的，这也是笔者比较喜欢它的原因之一。为了方便用户学习和使用引擎，Irrlicht官方提供了大量的例子程序，而且都比较具有代表性。

打开examples目录，Irrlicht已经为目前主流开发工具Windows平台下Visual Studio、MacOS下的Xcode以及Linux平台下的GNU MAKE做好了项目配置。

笔者是在Windows操作系统下使用VS2012进行演示，双击BuildAllExamples_vc11.sln打开解决方案，无需做任何配置即可编译运行程序。

编译运行Collision案例程序：

看起来效果是不是很炫呢?Irrlicht为我们做了大量的封装，即便看似如此复杂的程序，实际代码不超过200行。
