Reveal Them! A Qt entertainment

I do some Qt exercise when I get leisure time. RevealThem is just the after effect but I hope source code will be useful for somebody. While I was over consuming my vacation in front of TV, found a nice program like RevealThem. Hiding a celebrity behind a brick wall, and player can remove bricks one at a time so that, a part of the face is visible. People get higher points if they identify the celebrity with minimum number of picks. I found it was interesting to realize in Qt.
How to use the software?
Step1: Download the program(Go to end of this post)
Step2: Download some pictures of celebrities in .jpg format and save it in images/ directory in the directory where the program is installed.
Step3: Open the executable and click 'Load Image'. then you can pick bricks by clicking on it and select correct answer from the list and click 'Check' button. For each pick you, lose your 10 points.
Step4: This program is just for fun only.

Qt - Ping Pong Example

This is a simple ping pong (not game) play area example in Qt. You can modify this program to make your own arkanoid/ping pong games. I think it is useful for somebody. All files associated with the program with source can be downloaded. If you are Qt beginner like me, this example will help you how to use QTimer class and time interrupts.

Slider game using Qt

It is better to do simple things first in Qt before making hands dirty with complex programs. Now I just prepared a slider game using Qt.Hope all of you know how to play slider game. My code is simple and having a slider panel of 3x3 matrix. I know the code is not much pretty. But I just put my source code to download. It may be helpful for beginners. Of course, you can modify the code to satisfy your needs.
Enjoy!

Download slider.zip
Note: You need to recompile the code before using. I successfully compiled the code in Linux. Of course, you can compile it in other platforms without modification of code.

Yo Frankie: Open Game Project from Blender

Do you remember Big Buck Bunny?

'Big Buck Bunny'(Code-named Peach)is a classical animated short film entirely from Blender platform which is open source. The video reveals the power of Blender of course, and also contains a neat story with full of fun. If you didn't see this short film yet, you are too late, but here is the chance to download. The hero in this film is a big Buck. Other characters are some naughty animals named Frank, Rinky and Gamera. I personally like Frank's acting than others. I think many people realize that secret, that is why the rise of new open game named Yofrankie (Code-named Apricot). The name came from Frank's name and hero is Mr. Frank. You need to download the game (~120MB) which will run on a Blender engine or Crystal space. Another good side of YoFrankie is that you can develop it in your way wince it is open source. A number of good tutorials are there published in the official website. Both Big Buck Bunny film and YoFrankie are released under Creative Commons Attribution License. Watch a video of Yofrankie below:

Battle Game - The computer thinks!

Recently I built a game and named 'Battle' as a consequence of my studies in the field of artificial intelligence. As a first step, I built a mathematical model instead of more flexible neural network model. The work on neural model is on the way and the work is very slow. The mathematical model also not much efficient but I took care to make the program 'act' as intelligent (I know intelligence is needed to act!). Rarely the program may crash. I not interested to make this game for commercial use and I am givin it under GPL. The program is not much pretty both in efficiency and it's intelligence. Since I am not a proffessional programmer, the rules for a good program may not be satisfied. I compiled it in C++, but the entire structure is like C.
The game is like ordinary 'Tic Tac Toe'. but has a little difference that maximum number of players is limited to 3 and If you placed your all three players, you can move them to adjacent places to align the players in a line. For the simplicity of learning the game I have put a video of how to play the game.



I have built a Qt (which is cross platform) GUI for my game for beginners but have put also the CUI mode game for code diggers. Even though this game is not intended for entertainment surely it provide some entertainment if you read the code. I need you comments to speed up the development of neural model of the game. I did all the work in win32 platform and linux users also can compile the code because, Qt is cross platform. But you need to install Qt on your distro.
Here's the download links:
