Project Effects Everywhere

Creating a showcase game to showcase our particle system

Setting up Irrlicht

• Add the Irrlicht sdk in /Irrlicht. So there is at least the bin, include, source and lib.

• Open EffectsEverywhere visual studio project and check if Irrlicht is in the solution. If it isn't you have to add it doing the following: Solution (right mouse) -> add -> existing solution. Browse to /Irrlicht/source/Irrlicht and select Irrlicht 10.0

• Check if EffectsEverywhere project has a reference to the Irrlicht project. By clicking right mouse on the EffectsEverywhere project in the solution -> Properties -> Common Properties -> Framework and References. Check if Irrlicht is a reference, otherwise add it with "Add New Reference..."

• Check if the include is added in the EffectsEverywhere project properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories. Add ../Irrlicht/include; if it isn't there already.

• Go to /Irrlicht/bin/Win32-VisualStudio/ and copy the Irrlicht.dll to /Debug if the Irrlicht engine is build in debug mode or in /Release if it is build in release mode.

• EffectsEverywhere project is now able to run!
