match = match("33 one",0,0,0)

The application during the runtime
51.51 Dynamic Objects
We may create objects in the runtime and add them to windows.
Example:

func start cObjectName
oApp = new qApp
winToolBox = new qWidget()

winToolBox.resize(300,600)
btn = new qPushButton(winToolBox)
btn.resize(300,30)
btn.setText("Create Button")
btn.setClickEvent(cObjectName+".pCreateButton()")
btn.show()
winToolBox.show()
winForm = new qWidget() {

setWindowTitle("Form Designer")

show()
}
oApp.exec()
func pCreateButton
nCount = len(aObjects)

51.54 The Cards Game
In the next example we will see a simple Cards game developed using RingQt
Each player get 5 cards, the cards are unknown to any one. each time one player click on one card to see it. if the card
is identical to another card the play get point for each card. if the card value is “5” the player get points for all visible
cards.

Note: in the previous screen shot the player get the card number ‘5’ but his score is not increased because he opened
this card while no other cards are visible!
