I would like to start moving towards 3D game development. I am currently in the early stages of research.

Tools

3D Engine
Irrlicht

This is a multi-platform library that seems fairly well supported. The alternatives would be raw OpenGL or Ogre.

IDE
Code::Blocks

Don't know a lot about this one, but it seems good.

Physics Engine
Unknown

Research Plan

  1. Get some Irrlicht sample code compiled and running
  2. Do a small Irrlicht project (a 3D clock would be a good project) with no physics component
  3. Do a small project with a physics component and render the results in 3D
  4. Small project with 3D, physics and input
