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.
If running into permissions issues please use sudo with sudo if necessary
By default everything gets insalled to your qt examples and plugin directory's
qmake
make
make installAfter building all the examples will be located in your $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLE] directory. But one can also use qtcreator to pick which example they would like to run. See the section below using qt creator
Support for deployment to mobile devices like the N900 and N8 is being worked on.
Open the box2d pro file and selcet which example project you would like to run note there is a all-examples example applicaiton that allows one to view all the examples.
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.
If you would like to get Syntax highlighting for the Qml Elements/Objects
- Go to Projects -> box2d -> Run Settings
- Choose Add Deploy Step -> Make
- Enter "qmltypes" under "Make arguments"
Coming soon.
