[Interest] Programming strategy for old-school, 2-d video game?

[Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen]

Obviously i'll have to mention Gluon here (http://gluon.gamingfreedom.org/), 
but other than that, as a comment to the reply below:

Box2D is powerful and specifically designed for 2D games, and as such, may be 
worth a look. It also has a QML integration plugin already, available here: 
http://qt-project.org/wiki/box2d

Hope that helps! :)
