It is assumed that you already know basic QML (such as from doing the simple tutorial) and the focus is on showing
how to turn that knowledge into a complete and functioning application.
-This tutorial involves a significant amount of javascript to implement the game logic. An understanding of javascript is helpful to understand the javascript parts of this tutorial, but if you don't understand javascript you can still get a feel for how to integrate QML elements with backend logic which creates and controls them. From the QML perspective, there is little difference between integrating with backend logic written in C++ and backend logic written in javascript.

In this tutorial we recreate, step by step, the Same Game demo in $QTDIR/demos/declarative/samegame.qml.
The results of the individual steps are in the $QTDIR/examples/declarative/tutorials/samegame directory.

-For offline storage, we use the HTML 5 offline storage javascript API to maintain a persistant SQL database unique to this application. This first line in this function calls the function for the web-based high scores, described later, if it has been setup. Next we create an offline storage database for the high scores using openDatabase and prepare the data and SQL query that we want to use to save it. The offline storage API uses SQL queries for data manipulation and retrival, and in the db.transaction call we use three SQL queries to initialize the database (if necessary), and then add to and retrieve high scores. To use the returned data, we turn it into a string with one line per row returned, and show a dialog containing that string.

This is one way of storing and displaying high scores locally, but not the only way. A more complex alternative would have been to create a high score dialog component, and pass the results to it for processing and display (instead of resusing the Dialog). This would allow a more themable dialog that could present the high scores better. If your QML is the UI for a C++ application, you could also have passed the score to a C++ function to store it locally in a variety of ways, including a simple format without SQL or in another SQL database.
