Q-Gears replicates the game engine of Squaresoft's Final Fantasy 7 game. It is a project aimed at reproducing the iconic gameplay experience provided by the original game.
Built using C++, it uses different graphic libraries, including SDL and OpenGL, allowing it to be cross-platform. GCC, a cross-platform C/C++ compiler, executes the software as well. Q-Gears derives its name from "Gears," which is an insufficient and inaccurate reference to FF7's engine. There isn't a particular meaning behind "Q," except that it serves as an emblematic letter to distinguish the document from the program.
Overall, Q-Gears is a promising project that's gaining traction by the day. Its similar codebase and design philosophy as other Square games have the potential to embark on a new era of video game development.
