<p>A tutorial by Max Winkel.</p>
<p>In this tutorial we'll learn how to use splitscreen (e.g. for racing-games) with Irrlicht. We'll create a viewport divided into 4 parts, with 3 fixed cameras and one user-controlled.</p>

to get this or that screen?", don't panic. It's really easy: In the rect-function you define 4 coordinates:</p>
<ul>
<li>X-coordinate of the corner left top</li>
<li>Y-coordinate of the corner left top</li>
<li>X-coordinate of the corner right bottom</li>
<li>Y-coordinate of the corner right bottom</li>
</ul>
<p>That means, if you want to split the screen into 2 viewports you would give the following coordinates:</p>
<ul>
<li>1st viewport: 0,0,ResX/2,ResY</li>
<li>2nd viewport: ResX/2,0,ResX,ResY</li>
</ul>
<p>If you didn't fully understand, just play around with the example to check out what happens.</p>
