I didn't want to tell anybody about it, but of course some few, hybrid, bitplane, afecelis knew about this. Now, somehow this has reached the public. Ok, and now that everybody knows, it's ok to post it here on the blog too:
Irrlicht is based on the Quake 2 Engine. No, it's not only based on it, it's in fact a rip-off. I just replaced every 'ID' with 'irr'. :-)
UPDATE: This blog post was about a wrong article about Irrlicht, claiming Irrlicht is based on Quake 2. Of course Irrlicht is not based on Quake 2. The linked article has been corrected too.
