Qt GameEnabler

A set of classes for developing OpenGL ES 2.0 games for mobile devices with Qt. Provides also utility classes for playing audio.

The goal of this project is to create a simple framework for game developers enabling the use of native OpenGL® ES 2.0 or OpenGL® ES 1.1 code within a Qt application. Qt GameEnabler does not utilise QtOpenGL but overrides Qt's own rendering and replaces it with native OpenGL. This enables applications to achieve maximum performance for just their own use. An application created with Qt GameEnabler will run on all devices supporting OpenGL ES 2.0. Read more about ​the graphics framework. In addition, Qt GameEnabler provides a lightweight, easy-to-use ​audio framework with rich features. A subset of the audio functionality is also ported into a QML Audio Plugin to enable the using of the audio engine directly from QML.
