Oh, it only took years of research and learning… but here it be, the fruits of my labor… (more…)

Let me explain the bare minimum concepts behind getting your first 2D game engine up and running in Nokia’s Qt envirnoment. (more…)

What I believe a game engine built on Qt/c++ needs in order for it to be accessible and successful. (more…)

Shoot, Minecraft’s got its own Lego set now. But will it last? (more…)

If you can’t implement real 3D, then fake 2D 3D graphics might work. (more…)
