puzzle demo [doc.qt.nokia.com]

thanks for the link; however, i want to make it as a word search puzzle which is a word game that is letters of a word in a grid, that usually has a rectangular or square shape. The objective of this puzzle is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box. The words may be horizontally, vertically or diagonally……i wanna use it for learning purposes for a school project… any examples and help will be appreciated………..

why don’t u list your thoughts on how you want to approach this and others will contribute further to it :)

my approach is a word search puzzle….but the words in the puzzle are supposed to be in english;and it should show the answers in some box right after it is completed or the user can have the freedom of seeing the answers even though the puzzle was not completed. that’s my approach

wanna try to do it for my class project. i am just new on qt4

i meant how will you program this, what logic are you going to use… which Qt widgets will you use, how will you connect them … so on

like Tobias said in the other thread, just start upon it… then we can add to it :)

This is not a “please do my homework for me” forum. If you present us your ideas, we will be pleased to discuss them. But we will not do the complete work for you.

i know.lol….. just an idea of how i wanna do it which is why i am discussing it

tunde: I suggest to start by reading a book on Qt programming. That will give you lots of insights on how things are done in Qt.

I am sure your school library has some books on Qt and if they do not I am sure there are more libraries in your area.

Of course there is also the Qt documentation you can read, but a book is probably better suited for your level of knowledge. Our documentation is for the biggest part for reference, not to learn the ropes.

Tobias, yeah, something like Summerfield book.

Also, tunde, when I started fresh, the demos and examples that ship with Qt were a great starting point. I could find many things similar there (what I wanted to try) .. you can take it from there :)

Also there are some tutorials at Assistant based on examples, they also help a lot.

For the more or less advanced questions that pop up regarding C++ in general I recommend the C++ FAQ lite [parashift.com]. It was very inspirational for me. There is also a printed version (ISBN 0201309831) available.

Volker, yes, good FAQ. It is the place where I’ve read about use cases for placement new mechanism.

Volker: Yes, the FAQ is great, but a bit advanced for somebody new to C++ in my opinion.

I’ve added the wiki page Books and Links for learning C and advanced topics [developer.qt.nokia.com] as a place to collect all the recommendations for the non-Qt related stuff to read on C++.
