5-in-a-row

We released today a game called 5-in-a-row. It's implemented with Qt Quick / QML and designed for 2 players playing next to each other:



Want it? Package for N900 as well as source codes are available from here!

Wow thanks. Try doing something a little more technically challenging...like port Call of Duty Modern Warfare to it. Why do we have all these 2d games that cannot even stimulate me to being half-limp? Anybody else think this type of stuff is a freaking joke?

Anonymous: Hmm.. Please understand that the point of this example is not to compete with Call of Duty Modern Warfare -type of "real" games. It's just ~800 lines of QML =)

I hope companies will port more games into N900 & MeeGo, but I also want to see much more all sorts of content. Qt Quick is great for lowering the bar in becoming a developer, without sacrificing performance.

I tried to "compile" myself but it can not find qml files in my Windows environment.

My Documents/_misc_docs/5-in-a-row-build-desktop/content/MainView.qml: File not found

and this is because the path should be:

My Documents\_misc_docs\5-in-a-row-build-desktop\content\MainView.qml

how do I fix this? Allready tried to edit .pro file without much luck. Best solution would be [MHO] do project files that work on both environments.

How about doing tutorial on that?

Anonymous: I don't use windows environment so haven't tested how 5inarow works in there, sorry.

But one cause for not finding qml files (other than \ vs. / ) is that recent Qt Creator versions have enabled "shadow build" by default which causes building to "5-in-a-row-build-desktop" instead of original directory. This should be disabled from Projects tab to get things working.

Tried and now it works. Thank you \o/

Qt 5.10 QML Shape testing

Image
When implementing component into QtQuick UI which needs something more than rectangles, images and texts, pure declarative QML hasn't been enough. Popular choices to use for items with some sort of vector drawing are QML Canvas , QQuickPaintedItem  or QNanoPainter . But with Qt 5.10 there will be supports for new Shape  element with paths that contain lines, quads, arcs etc. so I decided to install Qt 5.10 beta3 and implement all tests of "qnanopainter_vs_qpainter_demo" with also QML + Shape elements. ( This kinda makes it "qnanopainter_vs_qpainter_vs_qmlshape_demo" but not renaming now ). So here is in all glory the same UI implemented with QNanoPainter (left), QQuickPaintedItem (center), and QML+Shape (right): Hard to spot the differences right? If only there would be a way to prove this, some way to x-ray into these UIs... like QSG_VISUALIZE=overdraw  to visualize what Qt Quick Scene Graph Renderer sees? Here you can see that scene graph sees QNan...

Introducing QNanoPainter

Qt World Summit is just about to start! I’m not participating this time, but wanted to contribute one-more-thing to discuss in UI groups at the heart of Berlin ;) During the past about six months we at QUIt Coding have had a side-side-project called QNanoPainter. This library is designed for implementing custom QQuickItems into Qt5 scene graph. Currently if you want to implement custom Qt Quick item, options are at least: QQuickItem : Offers best performance due to Qt5 scene graph integration. But QSG* classes are relatively low-level with vertices, indices & materials. Painting more complicated things requires quite an expert and even then productivity is not very high. QQuickFramebufferObject : This is a good option if you want to draw with OpenGL into QQuickItem. But as we all know, OpenGL is also quite low-level API so no productivity wins here. QQuickPaintedItem : This means painting with good old QPainter C++ API. Weakness of QPainter with modern graphics accelerated ...

Qt 5.10 Rendering Benchmarks

Image
Qt 5.10.0 RC packages are available now and actual release is happening pretty soon. So this seems to be a good time to run some rendering benchmarks with 5.10, including new QML Shape element, QQuickPaintedItem and QNanoPainter . After my previous blog post , some initial comments mentioned how QML Shape didn't reach their performance expectations. But I think that might be more of a "use the right tool for the job" -kind of thing. This demo application is very much designed to test the limits of how much heavily animated graphics can be drawn while keeping performance high and while having its own strengths, QML Shape likely isn't the tool for that. To prove this point, there is a new ' flower ' test case in QNanoPainter demo app which renders a nice flower path, animating gradient color & rotation (but not path). Combining it with new setting to render multiple items (not just multiple renders per item) and the outcome looks like this with 1 and 1...
