I'm freshly cracking into the world of application programing and I figure the first thing I'm starting off with is a game. My main skill set pertains to web based stuff. I'm a pro at php and I'm familiar with the concept of threading, thanks to ruby and python. I've done quite a few spiffy things with Flash AS2/php/ruby/python/vb6/vb.NET. Anyways, that should give everyone an idea of what my programming mindset is.

I decided I'd just start flinging codes with C#.NET and I already knew Irrlicht had a .NET wrapper. I just recently found out that they flat out don't support their .NET wrapper anymore. I can just continue to use Irrlicht v1.3.1 but before I get my project sooooooo far ahead that I can't turn back, I want to look at my options and evaluate what could possibly be wrong with Irrlicht v1.3.1.

The Q's
1.) What are the downsides to Irrlicht v1.3.1?
Like.... is there anything that I would WANT to do with Irrlicht that is just impossible? Maybe it just has super problematic flaws?
2.) What would be some simpler and easier alternatives to Irrlicht v.1.3.1?
Without being forced to use an EXE installer to get what I want.... please.... mogre was evil
