QML Box2D plugin

This plugin is meant to be installed to your Qt/imports directory, or shipped in a directory of which the parent is added as import path.

The goal is to expose the functionality of Box2D as QML components, in order to make it easy to write physics based games in QML.

INSTALLING

qmake make make install (goes to Qt's import path, run with sudo if necessary)

RUNNING THE EXAMPLE

qmlviewer examples/boxes/boxes.qml

DEPLOYMENT

Support for deployment to mobile devices like the N900 and N8 is being worked on.

USING QT CREATOR

For running you can use a "Custom Executable" configuration set to run "qmlviewer" with the right parameters.

When you have write permissions to Qt's import path, it can be convenient to add a deployment step to your run settings:

  • Go to Projects -> box2d -> Run Settings
  • Choose Add Deploy Step -> Make
  • Enter "install" under "Make arguments"

This will make sure that before running, the version of the plugin is updated in Qt's import path.
