Snake game issues

[craigusr]

I tried building/running Chapter 06 Snake in Qt 5.9.1 and 5.6.2 and got different issues. It appears to be due to the "tech preview" instability of the Qt3D Extras module.

In 5,9,1 I had to do this to get Apple.qml to load:

// Apple.qml PhongMaterial { id: material diffuse: "red" }

// DiffuseMapMaterial { // id: material // diffuse: "qrc:/models/apple-texture.png" // }

In 5.6.2 just downloaded using the Qt Maintenance tool, the qt3dextras module is not found.

In both versions the grass is not displayed (black background)

Many changes seems to have been done to the Qt 3D module in 1 year. You right about the "tech preview" instability of the Qt3D module that is since Qt 5.9, inside the Qt release...

Two solutions:

1. Build Qt and Qt 3D TP module from the sources (branch 5.7). Check http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/build-sources.html and http://code.qt.io/cgit/ )
2. Update the project code source to fit the changes of Qt 3D in Qt 5.9.1

Hi,

I was working on solution 2 to offer a solution but have not yet figured it out. Other similar examples seem to work.

Good book.

Thanks, Craig
