h1. Simple example of game scene with QGraphicsScene
This simple example mostly shows how to deal with
- QGraphicsScene::advance()
- QGraphicsItem::advance()
- QGraphicsItem::paint(…)
Overview
The example contains three classes with following responsabilities
- The scene is a QGraphicsScene
- Creates and deletes new items (towers and mobile units)
- Towers
- search for nearby units
- shoot them if any
- Mobile units (fighters)
- Move
- Explode and die

Main.cpp
The main() method creates a scene and a QTimer.
The timer calls Scene::advance() every 0.01 sec.
<br />#include <QtGui&gt;<br />#include "scene.h&quot;<br />#include "simpletower.h&quot;
int main(int argc, char '''argv)<br /> {<br /> QApplication app(argc, argv);<br /> Scene scene;<br /> scene.setSceneRect(0,0,640,360);<br /> QGraphicsView view(&scene);<br /> QTimer timer;<br /> QObject::connect(&timer, SIGNAL (timeout()), &scene, SLOT (advance()));<br /> view.show();<br /> timer.start(10);<br /> return app.exec&amp;#40;&#41;;<br /> }
<br />
h2. The Scene
* The scene constructor creates several towers
* Scene::advance() :
has a counter m_TicTacTimer
' every 20th ticTac, a new mobile unit is created with a random position, direction and speed.
' dead units are removed from the item list

h2. Towers
* Towers search for nearby units
' Search is performed by squared distance comparison
' Search stops when a first item is found
' Warning: n against n = O (n2) algorithm… Poor performances on large amount of items… but sufficient here.
* Towers shoot the located item if any
* after shooting, a tower must wait until its weapon is reloaded : it requires a "reload time" of 100ms
* The laser beam is drawn with lines of different thicknesses and colors

h2. Mobile units
Life Cycle of a mobile unit :
* A mobile unit is created with 10 life points
* Position changes according to predefined direction and speed
* It loses life points if touched by a laser beam
* The unit explodes when lifepoints are exhausted
* The explosion has a duration.
* The explosion is drawn by painter->drawEllipse(…) with a growing radius
