Engine name and meaning..
hi,
I wonder why these engines have very odd names.Irrlicht, ogre etc and now esenthel.May i know what is the meaning of the word Esenthel? Is it a polish word?
Name doesnt matters but my curiosity matters

Re: Engine name and meaning..
I've worked some time ago in game development company, but I quit to focus on my engine.
Currently I'm working only on my engine, and I'm also 24 smile

My next engine is called Boobs. First person to uncover the hidden subtext, wins absolutely nothing because it's not hidden.

Re: Engine name and meaning..
Can't imagine the creator of this engine is 24 :shock:
What subject did you studied in school/college/university before joining the game company and now creating this engine?
Usually it takes many years to develop a full feature game engine with a team or many volunteers, this engine just only 1 solo developer and just 24. Are you start 3D programming when you are 8 years old? Can you tell the secret?

smile I am a self learner - I haven't studied the things that I know in a school, but by myself.

At the age of 8 I started programming simple text games on computers like ZX Spectrum / Commodore 64, but I was just learning back then.
I just love what I do, and spend almost every free time I have on the engine.
