Introduction to KTrivial

Tuesday 13 November 2007

KTrivial is a project for the second edition on a university free-libre software contest in Spain called II Concurso Universitario de Software Libre. Below you’ll find the description I sent for my enrollment in the contest:

DESCRIPTION: KTrivial will be a questions & answers in general culture free game, based on the system who more knows is who wins, similar in concept to the Trivial Pursuit table game.

FEATURES:

  • Graphical user interface
  • Multiplatform
  • Multilanguage
  • Initial database with 42000 Spanish questions & answers.
  • Creation and edition of questions & answers databases.
  • 1-6 players/teams.
  • General culture questions or topic questions.
  • Clue option.

MOTIVATION: It seems there is no a complete (nor a half-complete) free project on the stuff and the game can be funny for both: users by playing it and developers by creating it. There are huge questions & answers files waiting for a GUI application game, rather than being used in simple IRC bots.

DESIRED TECHNICAL ISSUES:

  • C++ and QT4 programming.
  • Usage of QT4-designer for building GUI’s.
  • Proper documentation.

I wish you like it. I will also try to find a questions & answers file in English for adding it in the initial release :) Take care.
