Well I came across the word "Irrlicht" today, except its not English, rather a German word. Irrlicht is word for Will-o-Wisp or Ghost Light. Dictionary Entry Just wondering if anyone else was aware of this, and knows whether its coincidence or if there is any reason behind it. *shrugs* edit: where I found the word in first place. German Poem Not much use unless you know some German but hey might as well give you the link.

To give a bit of context, Irrlicht is the name of a graphics engine.

I knew this, sorry should have been more clear. I was wondering if anyone knew the reason behind the name for the Irrlicht engine.

edit: oh that was directed at krikkit... oops my bad, heh.
