This game is the classical 5-in-a-row, also known as tic-tac-toe or gomoku. Players place their tiles in turns and winner is the first player to get an unbroken row of five tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Game contains two-player mode which is played keeping the device still in between the players and letting UI rotate towards the player whose turn it currently is. One-player mode contains three different levels of challenge: Easy, Medium and Hard. Which ones can you beat?!

• Download from Nokia Store for N9/N950: http://store.ovi.com/content/209023
• Full source codes of the game: five-in-a-row_1.0.tar.gz
• Also available "Qt Quick Game Programming" tutorial which describes how the game has been implemented. For more information, please see here.

This application demonstrates distance field OpenGL shaders. Using this technique, it is possible to render smootly using low-resolution pixmaps and with excellent performance. Application requires Qt5 with Qt Quick 2.0. For more details about distance field method, have a look at the original SIGGRAPH paper from Valve from here.

Requirements:

• Qt5 (from https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt5)
• OpenGL (ES) 2.0
• QML Scene Graph and qmlscene binary

Download:

• Source codes: QUItDistFieldFX_0.1.tgz

This is a simple example of combining Qt Quick QML UI with OpenGL shaders. Instead of using QML Scene Graph, standard Qt 4.7 is used with the help of qml1-shadersplugin.

Requirements:

• Qt 4.7
• qml1-shadersplugin from https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml1-shadersplugin

Download:

• Source codes: metaballs_0.1.tgz
• Symbian^3 sis: metaballs_0.1.sis
  (Note: Package has been built with Qt 4.7.3 in Qt SDK 1.1 and tested in Nokia C7 and N8)

This tutorial is a crash course into Qt Quick development using the latest Qt 4.7 release. It introduces first briefly what Qt Quick is, and then dig into implementation details of a game called 5-in-a-row.

The tutorial demonstrates a big variety of QML components and how they are used, as well as layouting in QML, creating animations, communicating between QML and C++ with signals/slots and properties, and much more.

Snowtter is here to get You into Christmas mood:

• Twitter™ : Presenting public Twitter messages which contain ”Christmas”, ”Xmas”, "Holidays" or "Snow"
• Snowing: Different snowflakes dropping realistically with messages
• Background: Background image can be changed by clicking it
• Accelerometer: Snowflakes react on accelerometer so user can affect snowing speed/direction by rotating the device
• Requirements: Requires at least Qt 4.5 (libqt4-gui, libqt4-network, libqt4-xml, libqt4-opengl). Qt 4.6 is recommended for better performance and rendering quality. Instructions on how to install Qt 4.6 on N900 are available here
