Dance, Dance QML Revolution - Using Qt for MeeGo development
summary
A Dance Dance Revolution clone and a side‑scroller get built as demos to test QML for games: the DDR clone runs QML + JavaScript only, parses StepMania .sm files for millisecond step offsets, uses QML animations and QTMobility audio/video, and scores by checking item y‑coordinates instead of engine collision. The side‑scroller exports a C++ level loader and collision APIs, adds a circular QDeclarativeItem for accurate collisions, and handles touch with a custom multi‑touch item. The DDR prototype takes about two weeks and ends up as 700 QML + 400 JS lines (≈1,100 total), playable but missing multiplayer and advanced features.
