MONTAL — commercial 2D game with Qt/QML & C++ performance paths
Domain: Consumer product / games
Duration: 2013 – 2014
Stack: C++ · Qt · QML
A shippable 2D game product — QML for presentation and flow; C++ for movement, collision, and AI where frame budget matters. Not a prototype: production iteration across gameplay and UI polish.
Challenge
Frame-budget gameplay with polished QML UI
Balance fluid QML screens with performance-critical game loops in C++ — object scaling, mechanics, and asset integration without sacrificing frame stability on target hardware.
Approach
QML + C++ split with adult supervision on hot paths
- QML for menus, flow, and presentation layers
- C++ for physics, collision, AI, and performance-critical loops
- Iterative gameplay and UI polish cycles to shippable quality
- Pattern reused in later Qt industrial and trading programmes

Outcomes
What the programme proved
- Early proof of Qt/QML + C++ delivery depth (founder portfolio)
- Referenced on sevendyne.com/projects/qt/ as representative delivery
- Shows product-grade Qt beyond enterprise forms and dashboards
