Qt For the Console

An anonymous reader writes "Girish Ramakrishnan has written a Lighthouse plugin that lets one run Qt applications on the console. Old timers would recall the April Fool's story. Except it's for real this time." It's more of a neat hack than anything since it doesn't support things like mouse events yet.

Re:Fool me once ...

You said it wrong.

Correct version:
"Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

What is Lighthouse?

[inglorion_on_the_net]

For those not in the know, which included me a few minutes ago, Lighthouse was apparently a research project aimed to make Qt easier to port to different graphics systems. Was, because it has now been integrated with Qt 4.8, according to the page at that link.

XBox or PS3?
