Ok, I'm a c++ programmer. Well sorta, I'm not really the best. I got this book on C++ its really good. Its called C++ for the absolute beginner (I'm not really a beginner...well...kinda) Its a really good book and by the end of the book it has you making a game using the direct x graphics library. I have one question, will that be enough. At the end of this book, will I know wnough to start with irrlicht. This book gets a little more advanced than it sounds, it goes huge, teaches you alot, even Hexadecimal (I already knew that. Am in the 7 grade and homechooled, learned that in the first few days). Will this be enough to start? I wont be alone. I know someone who 3d models, we're using blender, audacity for sound, photoshop for textures, etc. Thanks in advance

If you can get a good handle of DirectX, you should be able to handle irrlicht no problem.
