 <p>This Tutorial shows how to do 2d graphics with the Irrlicht Engine. It shows how to draw images, keycolor based sprites, transparent rectangles, and different fonts. You may consider this useful if you want to make a 2d game with the engine, or if you want to draw a cool interface or head up display for your 3d game.</p>
<p>As always, I include the header files, use the irr namespace, and tell the linker to link with the .lib file. </p>

<p>In this example, we don't tell it the color directly, we just say "Hey Irrlicht Engine, you'll find the color I want at position (0,0) on the texture.". Instead, it would be also possible to call driver-&gt;makeColorKeyTexture(images, video::SColor(0,0,0,0)), to make e.g. all black pixels transparent. Please note that makeColorKeyTexture just creates an alpha channel based on the color. </p>

</pre></div><p>To be able to draw some text with two different fonts, we first load them. Ok, we load just one. As the first font we just use the default font which is built into the engine. Also, we define two rectangles which specify the position of the images of the red imps (little flying creatures) in the texture. </p>

The last-but-one parameter specifies a color, with which the sprite should be colored. (255,255,255,255) is full white, so the sprite will look like the original.
