Qt 4.5 Beta Released & Available for Download Free of Clutter Qt Software has released a beta of Qt 4.5 – the upcoming Designed with the words “speed” and “efficiency” in mind, Qt version of its cross-platform application framework for Creator contains many helpful features, such as a smart code desktop and embedded development. Preview packages editor, a powerful file and code navigator, a GUI frontend for are now available to commercial and open source users the GNU Debugger (gdb), as well as Qt Designer and Qt Help for download, testing and feedback. integrations. This article highlights these features and sheds The upcoming Qt 4.5 release emphasizes performance and some light on how Qt Creator works. stability over pure feature improvements. Nonetheless, a num- ber of new features have been included to keep things interest- ing. Here are just a few of them. QtWebKit Improvements The QtWebKit module has been updated to reflect the latest development in the WebKit community. Some of the new fea- tures available for Qt 4.5 are support for Flash plugins, HTML 5 media element (to embed audio and video),CSS transforma- tions for animation, full-page zoom, and visual HTML editing. Web standards support has been improved as well, to achieve a 100% score in the ACID3 tests. In addition, SquirrelFish, a fast JavaScript engine, has been added to help boost the per- formance of rich-Internet applications. Qt Designer Improvements If you look closely at Qt Creator’s user interface, you will notice A lot of work has gone into improving Qt Designer’s usability. that it lets you use most of your screen’s real estate for your Among these improvements are: work, and stays out of the way as much as possible.

The screenshot below further illustrates this feature. Context sensitive help is displayed in a panel on the right so you can view it side-by-side with your source code.

    February 28, 2013 8:8 Computer Science Education paper Computer Science Education Vol. XX, No. XX, June 2013, 1–18 RESEARCH ARTICLE Dragonfly – Strengthening Programming Skills by Building a Game Engine from Scratch Mark Claypool Computer Science and Interactive Media & Game Development Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA 01609, USA email: [email protected] (Received 00 Month 200x; final version received 00 Month 200x) Computer game development has been shown to be an effective hook for motivating students to learn both introductory and advanced computer science topics. While games can be made from scratch, to simplify the programming required game development often uses game engines that handle complicated or frequently used components of the game. These game engines present the opportunity to strengthen programming skills and expose students to a range of fundamental computer science topics. While educational efforts have been effective in using game engines to improve computer science education, there have been no published papers describing and evaluating students building a game engine from scratch as part of their course work. This paper presents the Dragonfly-approach in which students build a fully functional game engine from scratch and make a game using their engine as part of a junior-level course. Details on the programming projects are presented, as well as an evaluation of the results from two offerings that used Dragonfly. Student performance on the projects as well as student assessments demonstrate the efficacy of having students build a game engine from scratch in strengthening their programming skills. Keywords: game engine, programming, object-oriented design, software engineering, game development 1 Introduction By the end of their second year, most computer science students have been exposed to a breadth of foundational materials, such as introductory programming, basic data structures and algo- rithms, and have begun to write programs of moderate size – hundreds of lines of code, perhaps up to even a thousand lines of code.

Intermittent failures and nondeterministic behavior test teams during the product development cycle. For failures complicate and compromise the effectiveness of software detected in test, it is difficult to determine the underlying testing and debugging. To increase the observability of fault when reproducing the failure is not possible. When the software faults, we explore the effect hardware configurations underlying fault cannot be determined, the failure report is and processor load have on intermittent failures and the often closed and no additional effort is spent on it until nondeterministic behavior of software systems. We conducted additional occurrences are detected. For faults detected in the a case study on Mozilla Firefox with a selected set of reported field, developers spent considerable effort in either remotely field failures.
