This looks cool but I personally don't like Irrlicht, it's really slow to compile and makes ridiculously huge executables for some reason. On Linux, anyway.
The reason for the huge exectubles is usually when you compile with debug information. Compile it without -g or call strip afterwards and it will also be smaller ;-)
The problem was that g++ statically linnks everything by default, so every executable THE WHOLE IRRLICHT ENGINE, which made it portable, but disastrously huge too.
Of course, it had that X11 library in there too, and that other one... Irrlicht is not fun for libraries, but I have a makefile to type those in for me.

HA HA HA DISREGARD THAT
I just figured out how to make it compile with a shared library, which makes the executables MUCH smaller.
Like order of magnitude smaller. Prolly compiles faster too :D Thanks a lot.

No, I'm not familiar with debugging just yet.
