* <div align="center"><img src="logobig.png" ></div>
193
* \section intro Introduction
195
* Welcome to the Irrlicht Engine API documentation.
196
* Here you'll find any information you'll need to develop applications with
197
* the Irrlicht Engine. If you are looking for a tutorial on how to start, you'll
198
* find some on the homepage of the Irrlicht Engine at
199
* <A HREF="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net" >irrlicht.sourceforge.net</A>
200
* or inside the SDK in the examples directory.
202
* The Irrlicht Engine is intended to be an easy-to-use 3d engine, so
203
* this documentation is an important part of it. If you have any questions or
204
* suggestions, just send a email to the author of the engine, Nikolaus Gebhardt
205
* (niko (at) irrlicht3d.org).
208
* \section links Links
210
* <A HREF="namespaces.html">Namespaces</A>: A very good place to start reading
211
* the documentation.<BR>
212
* <A HREF="annotated.html">Class list</A>: List of all classes with descriptions.<BR>
213
* <A HREF="functions.html">Class members</A>: Good place to find forgotten features.<BR>
215
* \section irrexample Short example
217
* A simple application, starting up the engine, loading a Quake 2 animated
218
* model file and the corresponding texture, animating and displaying it
219
* in front of a blue background and placing a user controlable 3d camera
220
* would look like the following code. I think this example shows the usage
221
* of the engine quite well:
224
* #include <irrlicht.h>
225
* using namespace irr;
229
* // start up the engine
230
* IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D8,
231
* core::dimension2d<u32>(640,480));
233
* video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
234
* scene::ISceneManager* scenemgr = device->getSceneManager();
236
* device->setWindowCaption(L"Hello World!");
238
* // load and show quake2 .md2 model
239
* scene::ISceneNode* node = scenemgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(
240
* scenemgr->getMesh("quake2model.md2"));
242
* // if everything worked, add a texture and disable lighting
245
* node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("texture.bmp"));
246
* node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
249
* // add a first person shooter style user controlled camera
250
* scenemgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();
253
* while(device->run() && driver)
255
* driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255,0,0,255));
256
* scenemgr->drawAll();
257
* driver->endScene();
266
* Irrlicht can load a lot of file formats automaticly, see irr::scene::ISceneManager::getMesh()
267
* for a detailed list. So if you would like to replace the simple blue screen background by
268
* a cool Quake 3 Map, optimized by an octree, just insert this code
269
* somewhere before the while loop:
272
* // add .pk3 archive to the file system
273
* device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive("quake3map.pk3");
275
* // load .bsp file and show it using an octree
276
* scenemgr->addOctreeSceneNode(
277
* scenemgr->getMesh("quake3map.bsp"));
280
* As you can see, the engine uses namespaces. Everything in the engine is
281
* placed into the namespace 'irr', but there are also 5 sub namespaces.
282
* You can find a list of all namespaces with descriptions at the
283
* <A HREF="namespaces.html"> namespaces page</A>.
284
* This is also a good place to start reading the documentation. If you
285
* don't want to write the namespace names all the time, just use all namespaces like
288
* using namespace core;
289
* using namespace scene;
290
* using namespace video;
291
* using namespace io;
292
* using namespace gui;
295
* There is a lot more the engine can do, but I hope this gave a short
296
* overview over the basic features of the engine. For more examples, please take
297
* a look into the examples directory of the SDK.

//! Creates an Irrlicht device. The Irrlicht device is the root object for using the engine.
306
/** If you need more parameters to be passed to the creation of the Irrlicht Engine device,
307
use the createDeviceEx() function.
308
\param deviceType: Type of the device. This can currently be video::EDT_NULL,
309
video::EDT_SOFTWARE, video::EDT_BURNINGSVIDEO, video::EDT_DIRECT3D8, video::EDT_DIRECT3D9 and video::EDT_OPENGL.
310
\param windowSize: Size of the window or the video mode in fullscreen mode.
311
\param bits: Bits per pixel in fullscreen mode. Ignored if windowed mode.
312
\param fullscreen: Should be set to true if the device should run in fullscreen. Otherwise
313
the device runs in windowed mode.
314
\param stencilbuffer: Specifies if the stencil buffer should be enabled. Set this to true,
315
if you want the engine be able to draw stencil buffer shadows. Note that not all
316
devices are able to use the stencil buffer. If they don't no shadows will be drawn.
317
\param vsync: Specifies vertical syncronisation: If set to true, the driver will wait
318
for the vertical retrace period, otherwise not.
319
\param receiver: A user created event receiver.
320
\return Returns pointer to the created IrrlichtDevice or null if the
321
device could not be created.
