game development for web application?

I would suggest Qt is not the best framework for developing web applications.

Hi,
I am a web developer and now I want to learn game development also. So I am exploring game development topics here.

@sanjaykumar12
Then recommend you look at web development not Qt.

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/wasm.html maybe this helps you. I use this to create online apps. You can check it on my website: https://przemekkkth.github.io/. For example Pacman: https://przemekkkth.github.io/assets/games/pacman/index.html

Me too. But I decided to focus on development of browser games and interactive 2D/3D applications in WebGL. It is easier then C++ even in Qt. You can continue to make websites and you can practice with browser games. You can get: Pixi.js, Phaser or Malon.js and so on for 2D or Three.js, Babylon.js, PlayCanvas and so on for 3D. But I prefer to use pure WebGL + glMatrix. If you like this way you can start with this book: WebGL Programming Guide. Matsuda & Lea

You can play with my Mario example: https://8observer8.github.io/webgl10-js/mario-2d-jumps-oimophysics-webgl-js/ I use NPM package @box2d/core

I made a demo with Resident Evil models, textures and animations in single and co-op modes. You can try it in browser: https://8observer8.github.io/webgl10-js/room-webgl-js/

I implemented the third person controller:

I implemented the first person controller too:

I made the next example to show how to set up @box2d/core with importmap:

main.js

import { b2World } from "@box2d/core";

const world = b2World.Create({ x: 0, y: 3 });

console.log(world.GetGravity());

This example shows how to include Phaser and Box2D with importmap. Phaser is an analogue of SFML.

// Box2D
const world = b2World.Create({ x: 0, y: 3 });
console.log(world.GetGravity());

// Phaser
console.log(Game);

We built the abive 2D game app in Qt QML back in 2013, before Android gaming took off. We implemented X-Y movement, acceleration physics, joystick controls and more, all in QML — a genuinely fun project.
But my honest takeaway after ~10 years of Qt work: Qt is not built for games. Its strength is putting a clean UI on top of complex hardware and machinery — industrial systems, automotive HMI, embedded devices. That's where it shines.
Games need rich animation pipelines, physics engines, asset tooling and GPU-focused rendering — areas where engines like Unity, Unreal or Godot are far better served. So my suggestion: if you're serious about game development, learn a dedicated game engine. If what actually excites you is engineering — machinery, hardware, instrumentation — then Qt is an excellent fit, and the official Qt Academy courses (qt.io/academy) are a good free starting point.
