QT += core gui openglwidgets

CONFIG += c++17

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

It doesn't work on WebAssembly: see demo. Because of this bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-120651 But you can use the patch from the "Gerrit Reviews" (read the comments on the bug report)

But it works on Android:

@8Observer8 Hi! I tested your example with QOpenGLWindow
For my Mac I can compile project using :

QT       += core gui openglwidgets

instead of :

QT += core gui opengl widgets

win32: LIBS += -lopengl32 # I don't set it for Mac

I think it can be similar on Windows.

8Observer8

@Bondrusiek said in Small examples for game development in Qt, OpenGL, Box2D, Bullet Physics, and OpenAL:

I think it can be similar on Windows.

I confirm that it works on Windows. I'm guessing that the openglwidgets module includes the opengl and widgets modules. I've modified the examples to be the same for QOpenGLWindow and QOpenGLWidget. Thank you very much!

QT += core gui openglwidgets

win32: LIBS += -lopengl32

CONFIG += c++17

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

win32: means that it is used on Windows only and it will be ignored on other OS like Android, iOS, macOS and so on. When I use glDrawArrays in separated file and if I don't add this line win32: LIBS += -lopengl32, I have this error on Windows:

line_drawer.cpp:74: error: undefined reference to `__imp_glDrawArrays'

It can be solved by adding this line of code to pro-file:

win32: LIBS += -lopengl32

What is interesting, I can delete the line above after recompilation and it will run. But when I change something in the code and recompile it I will have the same error. So the win32: LIBS += -lopengl32 must be in pro-file if you don't call glDrawArrays in the same file.

I have made the next demo for WebAssembly, Android, and Desktop using: Qt C++, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenAL-Soft (this is a library for music and sounds), Box2D (for jumps, collision detections, and ray casting), Hiero (this is an application to create a font with distance field from TTF), Free Texture Packer (to pack images to one texture atlas), and Tiled map editor (to position sprites and Box2D static colliders).

Click to run in your browser (it is a link to itch where you can download EXE for Windows 10 64 bit and APK for Android 7-14)
Click to run in your browser (it is a link to the Netlify free hosting)

All resources (sprites, music and sounds) have been replaced with free ones. You can see a list of free resources here. For example, I took the sprites here: https://webfussel.itch.io/more-bit-8-bit-mario

I have made a custom joystick for Android in pure OpenGL ES 2.0 (this is an animation from the real phone that I made using scrcpy):

Setting English as system language

If a user system language is not English it will not work:

void OpenGLWindow::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
    switch (event->key())
    {
        case Qt::Key::Key_W:
        case Qt::Key::Key_Up:
        {
                break;
        {

The following command is a solution for Windows. You can set English as system language:

OpenGLWindow::OpenGLWindow()
{
    setTitle("OpenGL ES 2.0, Qt6, C++");
    resize(400, 400);

// Set English as system language
#ifdef _WIN32
    PostMessage(GetForegroundWindow(), WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST, 1, 0x04090409);
#endif

You don't need to include <windows.h> because Qt is included it by default:

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#endif

8Observer8

Printing OpenGL version to the Debug console

The following commands print OpenGL and GLSL version and vendor:

qDebug() << "OpenGL version:" << (const char*) glGetString(GL_VERSION);
qDebug() << "GLSL version: " << (const char*) glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION);
qDebug() << "Vendor: " << (const char*) glGetString(GL_VENDOR);

or

std::cout << "OpenGL version: " << glGetString(GL_VERSION) << std::endl;
std::cout << "GLSL version: " << glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION) << std::endl;
std::cout << "Vendor: " << glGetString(GL_VENDOR) << std::endl;

Qt by default runs programs with integrated video card on laptop:

OpenGL version: 3.1.0 - Build 9.17.10.4459
GLSL version:  1.40 - Intel Build 9.17.10.4459
Vendor:  Intel

Loading 3D models from DAE COLLADA

This example shows how to parse XML (.dae) using QDomDocument. It was tested on Android 7.1.1, Windows 10, and WebAssembly.

Note. antialiasing works for WebAssembly with QOpenGLWindow for Qt 6.6.3 but it doesn't work for QOpenGLWidget. It was fixed in Qt 6.7.0. See the bug report: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-123816

Pick color of a pixel with glReadPixels by mouse click or by touching on Mobile

glReadPixels requires the following parameters:

GLubyte pixel[4];
glReadPixels(m_mouseX, m_mouseY, 1, 1, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, pixel);

Where m_mouseX and m_mouseY are the mouse click coordinates. You should recalculate them before of calling glReadPixels because glReadPixels uses bottom left corner as (0, 0) but Qt uses top left corner as (0, 0). You should add QWindow::devicePixelRatio() because Windows has devicePixelRatio = 1 but Android and macOS (maybe) has devicePixelRatio = 2:

void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event) override
{
    m_mouseX = event->pos().x() * devicePixelRatio();
    m_mouseY = (height() - event->pos().y() - 1) * devicePixelRatio();
    m_mouseClicked = true;
    update();
}

Lines with thickness with disks between them

This example draws two lines from "start" to "finish" with thickness:

void drawLine(const QVector2D &from, const QVector2D &to, float thickness,
    const QVector3D& color)

It draws a rectangle. I place three disks: in the start point, between lines (where lines are connected), and in the finish point:

        // Strip line
        // Disk
        QVector3D lineColor(0.25f, 0.31f, 0.85f);
        drawDisk(20.f, 50.f, 10.f, lineColor);
        // Line
        drawLine(QVector2D(20.f, 50.f), QVector2D(50.f, 70.f), 10.f, lineColor);
        // Disk
        drawDisk(50.f, 70.f, 10.f, lineColor);
        // Line
        drawLine(QVector2D(50.f, 70.f), QVector2D(60.f, 20.f), 10.f, lineColor);
        // Disk
        drawDisk(60.f, 20.f, 10.f, lineColor);
