Qt: Noughts and Crosses Game Example
This Qt example application is a Noughts and Crosses game that demonstrates a cross-platform application with a custom layout using QLayoutManager and style sheets for buttons. The application supports touch UI and keyboard. It has been designed to work on the S60 platform with Qt for S60 4.5.2 Tower release, maemo, and Windows XP. Important classes: QPushButton, QLayout.
Qt: QSolitaire Game Example
This Qt C++ example application demonstrates a cross-platform Solitaire game that runs in different Qt environments such as the S60 platform (with Qt for S60 4.5.2 Tower), maemo, and desktop Windows. The application uses the Qt Graphics View Framework and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for drawing 2D graphics. The application supports touch UI. Important classes: QGraphicsView, QGraphicsSvgItems, QGraphicsScene, QWidget.
Qt for S60: QMemoryGame Example
This Qt C++ application demonstrates how to implement a Qt UI on top of an existing Open C++ engine that has been initially developed for Open C++: Memory Game Example published at forum.nokia.com. The example application can be compiled for S60 devices based on S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 and newer releases with touch UI or keyboard.
S60 5th Edition: Solitaire Game Example
This C++ example application demonstrates a fully touch-optimised application using various touch UI features of S60 5th Edition with direct manipulation. Besides tapping the cards, the user can drag and drop them using a finger or the stylus. The application demonstrates handling pointer events of custom made UI controls. Also, tactile feedback using the Touch Feedback API is received. Double buffering is used to draw on the screen to avoid flickering. By default, the cards are implemented as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) icons, but the example also provides an option to draw them using methods of the graphics context class CWindowGc. In the updated version, major drawing optimisation has been done. The example application was developed for S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: CCoeControl, MTouchFeedback, CFbsBitmap, CWindowGc.

Next Steps in Mobile Rules! Multiplayer Competition; a Business Overview with SNAP Mobile
This webinar contains an overview on developing on the SNAP Mobile platform, and introduction on tools and other resources available as well as the next steps for Mobile Rules! Multiplayer competition.
Best Practices for HW-Accelerated Graphics Optimization
Learn how to use the OpenGL ES API to render 3D graphics in an efficient way in hardware-accelerated Nokia devices based on S60 3rd Edition and 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 (for example, Nokia N93, Nokia N93i, Nokia N95, and Nokia E90). Graphics hardware in the accelerated devices is many times faster than a SW-based implementation. However, certain simple principles in the OpenGL ES API usage need to be followed to get the best performance. The document provides some dos and don’ts to optimize the performance of the application. In addition, a texture conversion tool and a demo application are provided in the package.
