[April's Fools Joke] Work on the irrLicht port

For the first time, we are giving you screenshots of the current state of SuperTuxKart, as being ported to irrLicht! The game features real-time shadows and lighting, moving clouds and advanced particles effects. It also features soft body dynamics simulation for plants, and liquid physics for water. We are also integrating a hologram library, which will eventually allow SuperTuxKart to come out of your screen in real 3D.

It is also expected that next version will be able to run on Nintendo Wii, Xbox360, iPhone and Nintendo DS (and maybe iPods, not sure yet)

With no further ado, here is a screenshot :

  4. I have to say it. I wouldn't like the change very much. Don't know why, but I prefer STK graphics.

  5. Sincerely, I was really fooled. Great thing... but makes me to think: why not? Continue improve STK anyway to get better than that :)
