    I think there are some more apps that uses Qt and to be honest - even if it sounds very harsh - I don't know if your coding style and software architecture is such a big commendation for Qt. All looks like a very newbie approach and at this stage it is surely not good for Nokia. But keep on coding...

    Hi Lykburg,

    I didn't find your comment harsh (thanks anyway, MrDeath). Perhaps we are looking at it from different perspectives.

    Let me put it this way: when you play a video game do you ask yourself questions about how the software is architected, which classes are called, or how the code is organized?

    Perhaps you do, but I look more at things like surprise, irony, mystery, breaking out of the mold, the ability to indirectly communicate things.

    It's definitely not Gears of War or Call of Duty, but I enjoyed making it more than the video games I've been playing lately.

    Also, you've seen some of the dirty laundry in my code. I won't deny that it's there, but I'm trying to sell my coworkers on AGILE programming right now which means a few things to me: 1) Minimal designing 2) Document as you go and 3) Just start coding. There are messes along the way, but when I play video games I just don't care about that.

    As for my newbie-ness, I think that is good for Nokia as well. If a newbie can get stuff out of Qt then it must be easy to work with, and I think that bodes well for Qt. I've hacked around with Qt for five years ... I was using the arcane QCanvas functions which got torn out, so sometimes it helps to stick with the basics like setText() and resize().

    That's my perspective anyway, with apologies to Wittgenstein.

    Thanks for the feedback/request.

    Since you and Lykurg have both mentioned this I will try to do this over the weekend.

    I've already done it on the Mac side, but I need to merge my code bases. Probably more info than you wanted to know.

    I will post something when I'm done.

    Alright. The XP/Vista installer lets you decide where to install the game, and the game uses a relative path to find the resources.

    The funny thing is I used the exact same qApp-> class before and it didn't work for some reason.

    Glad it's working now.

    You can download it here.

    Really nice post. The information about video game is very useful. I find it very useful.
    These information can be useful for developing video game application. I am sure this will like by most of people.
