Hi.
It's Qt not QT.
Yes you can write it in Qt.
Qt is not a compiler it's a framework which can help you with writing your programs, which you can compile with a compiler.
You should start with:

1. "Qt Documentation":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/index.html
2. "Fortune Client example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/network-fortuneclient.html
3. "Fortune Server example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/network-fortuneserver.html

That's assuming you know C++.

Of course you can :D. Determine which protocol you want to use, TCP or UDP. For most case, udp is the right one. And you can use Qt to implement both UI and logic part.
