while searching for tutorials i bumped into this very interesting one.
it's about a 3D engine, the .zip file in that thread contains a lot of examples to play with.
and from what i can tell you can even make a doom clone with this one, or even some nice effects for a demo , the choice is yours ;D
a copy of the thread to see what it is about:
So I have been experimenting myself with writing a simple wrapper, the one supplied here is a basic version that only exposes 76 commands but covers quite a wide range of Irrlicht engine features.
Edit: The latest version is now 0.5 wrapping Irrlicht 1.4 with 175 commands and Linux Support
I have included the binary and source of the DLL in the package, you may like to rebuild the DLL from the included source yourself. The DLL was created using Code::Blocks and the mingw32-gcc tool set. I only have the resources to build it on Windows but the code should be easily portable.

and a tutorial based on that 3D engine can be found here:

yes its a nice engine with helpfull examples for freebasic too.
one of those examples is a game like quake style :P
it's not that hard too, all it takes is to understand and study the examples and modify them a bit to your needs :P
(not for my level of experience with freebasic though) ::)
