Scrabble

[MFrost]

Hi,

I want to create a Scrabble game and I don't really know, how best to construct the board.
I'm thinking about using QGridLayout, but what type of widget should I put in it as squares? I need sth I can define the size and background and then implement a letter or overwrite it with another tile-like widget.

Do you have some tips or suggestions for me?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Sounds like rather a job for QtQuick or the Graphics View framework

Thanks for an answer!

Soo, considering Graphics View, how best to do it? How to create board, so that the tiles could only be dropped on the squares and I could write some conditions about them being correctly set? And how should I define tiles? I suppose, they could be QGraphicsRectItem objects. First I need to create the fixed set of them. Can I do this with an array, store them in a "bag" and then take random ones out into a players "rack" every round?

I found, how to specify positions: http://www.walletfox.com/course/qgraphicsrectitemdragdrop.php.
What about other issues?

Take a look at the Graphics View examples. Several of your questions are already answered there.
