    Default Game Development

    Hi everyone. Searched this forum for "game development" with zero rezult. I use Qt for 2.5 years or something more, but for making interfaces. Right now I'm curious about creating a game (not like big AAA games, something like um... indie) and the question is - what do you think about Qt as a platform for game development? And maybe there is a book about it?

    I am novice to Qt, and now exploring its power. If the power of the Qt is strong enough, it's not problem to use it as a game platform. But today, game developed using Qt is so rare. Compare to other game frameworks, if we use Qt, I think we have to work more extra!

    Actually using Qt for game development has its benefits. For example, Qt game can be distributed to Windows and all other Unix systems.

    I'd see most power for implementing games in the Graphics View architecture - try it.

    That's completely false. Qt supports OpenGL so whatever can be done in OpenGL, it can be done in Qt as well. And using Qt for overlays and UI in such situation is surely beneficial.

    And see WolfenQt for pseudo-3D with Qt in action.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Not necessarily, you need 3D. I have a 2D game written and selling in Qt:

    If you PM me, I can send you a full version so that you can evaluate on phone.
