You'll probably want to read up on classes like QGraphicsView, QGraphicsScene, QGraphicsItem, and QImage/QPixmap. When you're ready, the animation classes will probably be useful for you too. If you're interested in the 2D aspects of game programming, then they also have vector graphics components for you to use. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a standards-based vector file format. Qt has support for this format and can makes it quite easy to use resources like these in 2D games. In my experiments, I was trying to hammer OpenGL shapes into the QGraphicsScene framework, which is not what you seem to want to do. Qt 4 can certainly be used for games.

I've just started to use QT for some boring 'forms/reports' - 'data in/data out' stuff. I'd like a nice distraction with some game development on QT. Just to keep it interesting. Just 2D stuff. So I'm looking for a game engine to integrate with QT... Did you make some headway with QGraphicsItem? Matt Hi,

I’m curious to know how you go with game development on QT. I’ve just started to use QT for some boring ‘forms/reports’ – ‘data in/data out’ stuff.

Just 2D stuff. So I’m looking for a game engine to integrate with QT…

Did you make some headway with QGraphicsItem?
