Hi! Nice forum, aspiring Qt developer here for Nokia platforms. Enjoying the tutorials and basics but my lack of experience is giving me a hard time creating a game, hoping to learn from the experts ;). Qt seems cool enough tho, I think it has its own perks over C#, loving the signals and slots :) but I need to learn more of the classes and includes..

Good Forum, Good people, nice!
-
I think with Qt 5 and its new graphical improvements there will be more people working with games, or I hope so.

Just found this forum, awesome! Just started a project a few weeks ago switching over to a Qt/QML application wrapping a lightweight 3D engine, instead of the heavier 'game engine' alternatives... and I've been loving it.
Glad to know this resource is here, too!

Just started Qt game development. I intend Qt 5.1 on the Pi eglfs, but developing on a PC at present. Even on the 2D games I expect to abstract to GLES2. I have decided on direct ALSA for sound as I need buffer rendering, and not just wav files.

Ah, now we get to the good stuff! I'm new to devnet, so I will probably learn more than I can teach. But awesome anyway :)

Now that everyone agrees that a game forum is good, people should start posting information such as experiences, tips, dos and don'ts, resources, links, tutorials, etc. to make this a vibrant forum. Of course, questions and comments should be an integral part. Personally, I'm interested in multiplayer games and hope to contribute more in the near future.

Hey all,
i'm from the QML Subforum but i thought why don't i try game development, just for fun and to gather some experiences. What i would like to know is:
- Should i start with OpenGL or DirectX(DX3D)?
- Are there any good tutorials or introductions to game programming and OpenGL/Dx you guys could and would recommend?
Every comment is welcome.

Hello, Qt guys
bq. Now that everyone agrees that a game forum is good, people should start posting information such as experiences, tips, dos and don’ts, resources, links, tutorials, etc. to make this a vibrant forum.bq.
This is a good point of view, tutorials is the best way to learn. -

Every comment is welcome.[/quote]I'd imagine that it depends on what kind of game you want to produce, and what experience you have.
For simple mobile games, I'd go with QML (e.g. http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qml-advtutorial.html ) -- one code base that can be compiled for both OpenGL AND DirectX!

I would really like to go into 3D Desktop games, until now i have no experience with that.

Qt 3D is in the works, but it's not ready yet. Optimistically, there might be a tech preview in Qt 5.3.

Alright, thank you JKSH.
