I want to trigger an action every x milliseconds, should I use a QTimer or the 
QObject timer ?

My game is a tetris-like but isn't with the tetris rules, it's just a puzzle-
game. In fact the only similarities it has with tetris is the shape of the 
blocks. After that it uses colors, and also an other system for block 
interactions.

It's an original concept, I don't even know if the game will be interesting to 
play or totally boring. On paper it seems good... but I have to play it to 
see.

Best regards.
Pierre.
