irrGolf is a free mini-golf simulator for both Windows and Linux
With the intention to create a successor to Kolf, a minigolf simulator for KDE, a small team of students gathered to build a new simulator from scratch. The basic idea was to use a full-featured 3D-engine for a enhanced look and feel. This is where Irrlicht comes into play. Additionally, we were looking for utmost realistic ball behaviour. Newton Game Dynamics helped us a lot with that. It features inertia, torque, collision trees, just everything we need. A third important point for us was to keep the code structure clean and flexible. This is why we moved pracically all hard-coded data into xml-files, which can be edited easily, because they are human-readable, and do not require re-compilation. The open-source project tinyXML was and still is the parser of our choice for that task.
