planes

Planes is a variant of battleships game implemented with Qt, C++ for desktop and with Java and Kotlin for Android. The current website of the project is : https://xxxcucus.github.io/planes/

3 versions of the game of Planes are implemented with Qt: PlanesWidget, first naive version, PlanesGraphicsScene an implementation using QGraphicsScene, PlanesQML an implementation using QML. These use a game engine programmed in C++.

The Android application is currently developed in Kotlin. The older version of the Android application in Java still exists in the repository for reference.

Starting with version 0.3.16 for the desktop version and version 0.4.0 for the Android app, a multiplayer module is included.
