Switcher is a task manager for Symbian S^3 that showed running processes as tiles. The 3D part of the app ran on my OpenGL ES engine. The app went into the Ovi Store in 2012, and Symbian died in 2013. Everything below is history.

This post collects the development notes of my first C++ 3D engine. The engine ran on my notebook under Windows and on my Nokia N8 under Symbian S^3 Belle. It used OpenGL ES 2.0, and the Qt framework provided the application shell. The engine became later the base of a 3d rewrite for the Switcher task manager.

Here's a bug in QT's QPixmap class that might confuse a little bit. I only tested this on Symbian plattform (Nokia N8 on the device itself).

Before this blog existed, the projects lived on a small HTML page. That page is no longer existing, so this post records what is left and how my programming journey started. The projects are from around 2009 and started on nokia's long gone Symbian mobile OS.
