    @Jasmin-Quinn ok In that case,
    game = new Game(); // in main.cpp

    In button handler on_lancer_partie_clicked() write below code
    game->show();
    game->displayMainMenu();

    Note:make sure MainWindow.h should not have any game variable as member variable. It should have access to global game object pointer

    @nagesh I removed Game * game; from mainwindow.h
    and ran it but didn't work

    it only works when i add Game *game in either on_lancer_partie_clicked() or in mainwindow.h eventhough it already exists in main.cpp

      @Jasmin-Quinn you are not following as suggested..

      Decide where do you want to have the instance of game.

      Follow only the steps 1)2)3) suggested earlier and make sure main is not having any game object pointer and
      MainWindow.h also should not have any game*.

        @nagesh I can't do that . Without the game object pointer in main.cpp it generates this error

          @Jasmin-Quinn move the declaration of
          Game *game to MainWindow.h as global declaration

                    @Jasmin-Quinn paste MainWindow.h code here
                    Hope it's having below statements in the beginning
                    #ifdef MAINWINDOW_H
                    #define MAINWINDOW_H

                        @Jasmin-Quinn okay fine, I repeat that my first post is the solution to this application integration.

                        I repost the working solution. (I tried integrating github project which is working fine )

                        Solution as per the existing implementation of chessboard application (Just to make the integration works fine)
                        1)Copy the required files(chess project files) to the existing project.

                        2)In Mainwindow.cpp create the global game object pointer;
                        Game *game=nullptr;
                        //make sure Game *game; exists only in the Mainwindow.cpp
                        //Earlier crash was because there were two instance game * one in Manwindow.h as member variable and other with main.cpp.

                        3)In Mainwindow.cpp include the game.h file
                        #include "game.h"

                        4)In on_lancer_partie_clicked() create the instance of it
                        game = new Game();
                        game->show();
                        game->displayMainMenu();

                        Note: Assumption that github code remains unaltered.

                          So basically back to square one.
                          I still believe that SUB_DIRS would make life easier.
                          ( adding game code from github was a snap - but it works as independent project only.

                          The qmake / management part of SUB_DIRS is OK, however, it definitely requires better knowledge of "make" ( am I repeating myself here?).

                          There are many options in qmake and it will just take some time to figure out how to

                          have (main) project
                          and be able to select real sub-project.

                          I have done that on "C level " - using MDI / QProcess and I'll try to get same result
                          using qmake.

                            main window event loop
                            game project event loop

                            or in human -
                            run game project event loop INSIDE main project event loop
                            or in "pseudocode " (no buttons pushing )

                            int main(int argc, char *argv[])
                            {
                            QApplication main ptoject (argc, argv); main project event loop
                            QApplication game project (argc, argv); game project event loop
                            game = new Game();
                            game->show();
                            game->displayMainMenu();
                            return game project .exec();
                            return main project .exec();
                            }

                              @AnneRanch AFAIK one instance of QApplication & one event loop required in main

                                @Jasmin-Quinn okay fine, I repeat that my first post is the solution to this application integration.

                                I repost the working solution. (I tried integrating github project which is working fine )

                                Solution as per the existing implementation of chessboard application (Just to make the integration works fine)
                                1)Copy the required files(chess project files) to the existing project.

                                2)In Mainwindow.cpp create the global game object pointer;
                                Game *game=nullptr;
                                //make sure Game *game; exists only in the Mainwindow.cpp
                                //Earlier crash was because there were two instance game * one in Manwindow.h as member variable and other with main.cpp.

                                3)In Mainwindow.cpp include the game.h file
                                #include "game.h"

                                4)In on_lancer_partie_clicked() create the instance of it
                                game = new Game();
                                game->show();
                                game->displayMainMenu();

                                Note: Assumption that github code remains unaltered.

                                  Is it correct to say that now the "main project" has all the code of "chess" added so basically there is only one application running?

                                  The objective to "have two windows" has been met, however, adding more "child applications" using same philosophy of "cut and paste" is not what " reusing code " means to me.
