            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.

                          This is a good point of view, tutorials is the best way to learn.

                            Well i would say the best way to learn something is to try and do it yourself.

                              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!

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

                                          Qt Game development!

                                          All people here have to say is that it's great with this new forum...
                                          I thought I'd bring it one step longer then "hello group!".

                                          Qt for games on mobile devices? Desktops? Consoles?

                                          Qt is a joy to work with and thanks to QML and QML/3d and I guess it could be a good framework for game development.
                                          I still think you would need to use OpenGL support if you want hardware acceleration that handles graphics/3d intensive programs.

                                          If Qt is thinking about over-encapsulating this into some quasi game framework using QtQuick when "QGLWidget":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qglwidget.html would give you an excellent OpenGL context to work in, I don't know.

                                          If no draw calls from other threads than the main thread is possible, this will not work well...

                                          There is already a Game Framework based on Qt 4.8 called "V-Play":http://v-play.net/

                                          I've tried it out as a demo, but it didn't impress me all that much.

                                          So I really hope that Qt's focus on Game Develop will bear fruits!

                                          Signals and slots for gamedev == cool, so the best of luck!

                                          Chris
