ScreenPlay VS copperspice

I gave a lightning talk about Godot as a wallpaper engine replacement via ScreenPlay[1]. I hacked this together the week before the convention and I hope to release it by the end of the month.

I found an open source live wallpaper app called Screen play that supports mac, Linux and windows which might be a suitable alternative. https://screen-play.app/

ScreenPlay: ScreenPlay is an Open Source Live-Wallpaper app for Windows and OSX. https://screen-play.app/

Qt/QML? I have been doing cross-platform development with Qt for a few years now [1]. It does have a learning curve, but I do like the split of C++ logic and Qml for the UI. I can recommend the qml book [2].

Here is an alternative - https://screen-play.app/

There is Slate the pixel editor written in Qt/QML. Alternatively, ScreenPlay (Open Source Live Wallpaper) always welcomes contributors :P https://screen-play.app/

That's sounds cool! Are you planning to open source it? I could use something like this in ScreenPlay!

My FOSS live wallpaper app ScreenPlay[1]. Currently working on getting macOS universal binary support working with cmake/vcpkg. Linux (KDE) will be next :)

This would be a cool ScreenPlay desktop live wallpaper ;)

Not with Qt6/CMake/QML. For example, I've been developing a cross-plattform live wallpaper app for the last 5 years alone: https://screen-play.app/

Tangentially, I just listened to an old cppcast about https://www.copperspice.com/, a QT fork with ambitions of being more c++-ey.

There was already a fork of Qt 4. It is tootling along fine: https://www.copperspice.com/

BTW, CopperSpice sounds pretty close to what you're mentioning: https://www.copperspice.com

If you already have a lot of use of Qt your might find CopperSpice to be a reasonable compromisehttps://www.copperspice.com/

exactly I'm quite happy to have my code written for me. If you don't like the moc you can use CopperSpice https://www.copperspice.com/

CopperSpice might be worth looking at too. Coming from Qt you're probably going to like it better than wxWidgets.

So I strongly dislike Qt. It's got a predatory vision for open source enforcement where they mislead their customers with spoopy language and make it harder and harder to download. In addition, they continue to insist on an architecture that's not even actually C++ (it's got a different grammar) despite it being completely possible to architect a better version of their designs in standard C++.

See copperspice project. Originally forked to work around short coming of Meta-Object Compilation.
