Game development with Qt: where to look first?

Question

So, I'm going to develop a Pac-Man clone with Qt. The problem is that I do not really know where to start.

I quickly take a look at the documentation and some demo. I also downloaded some game sources on qt-apps.org. And it seems that there is a lot of ways to develop a game with Qt!

In your experience, which part of Qt should I consider to develop a Pac-Mac clone ?

• The Animation Framework
• The Graphics View Framework
• The Paint System
• Qt Declarative

Any help would be appreciated.

I think that QGraphicsView framework is the best way. Create a QGraphicsScene, some QGraphicsItems for the elements of the game. You have collision detection for free.

Most of KDE games are based on the QGraphicsView framework. It is a good fit for simple game development.
