TobbY

i am new to game development, i dont know which game engine is best???

i want to know any opensource game engine which can be useful with qt???

ZapB

What sort of game do you want to make? There are all kinds of "engines" for all kinds of things.

TobbY

i want to develop 2d game

goetz

A very detailed description of your plans indeed.

ZapB

That doesn't really tell us much. What kind of 2D game? Cards? Chess? Bomberman? Plants vs Zombies? WHich aspect do you want to learn about?

For some inspiration take a look at the source code of the kde-games module (google it).

i have nt think yet, just need to know the first step.

ZapB

First step is to define the problem. Only you can do that asonly you knwo what you want to work on.

I have the same question in mind guys. I am starting on a game right now.. it would be like a sort of typing maniac game on mobile... it will be a 2d game..

the would-be flow of my game is that.. there will be falling balloon for example with a question on it.. then the user must key in the correct answer before it hits the ground

what opensource game engine could be useful for my game??

ZapB

That should be quite simple to do with QML. In fact there was a similar game to this shown at QtCS last week. It uses QML3d and can be found on "gitorious":https://gitorious.org/spacetyper/.

lexan

yeah QML it is.. But Do i need to have uhmm.. lets say any opensource game engine for this?
or just QtQuick itself?

ZapB

The "engine" is just your C++ and/or javascript code that implements the game logic. QML/QtQuick provide you with nice facilities for doign things like animations. The logic is up to you to write.

For a simple game like this it should only be a few hundred lines.

lexan

there are a lot of apprehensions running through my mind. thanks for your answer ZapB. I am kinda enlightened. Thank you very much

ZapB

No problem. If you run into specific problems whilst developing your game then please feel free to come back and ask more questions.

Good luck!

TobbY
