[Kde-games-devel] LSkat Online

[Martin Heni]

Having to do a little study on how easy Qt programs can be converted to Java I
used the LSkat program as an example. 
It actually turned out to be _really_ easy - Qt is more Java compatible than I 
thought ;-) Only real issue are the signal-slots of Qt.

One interesting finding was that despite the program not doing _any_
painting optimization (just painting everything in every update cycle) 
it runs roughly twice as fast as the Qt/KDE version. Should this worry us?
[Windows vs Linux: On XP it is ~20% faster than on X11.]
However, note that this was not a precise measurement but just looking
a bit manually at frame rates. Also I did not use the latest Qt version. So 
dont hold me on these measurements.

If you want to have a look, the program is online at

Btw. it looks exactely like the KDE version and thus might serve as a good 
advert for KDE - I link KDE and KDE games a lot :-)
