How do I set up QtDesigner for a project that has animated elements?

I'm writing a project to simulate creatures moving around a map. These can be represented by simpl开发者_高级运维e circles, but I need a map/grid and those circles animated on top of the map.

What elements should I use in QtDesigner to set up for this kind of GUI in my project? I've yet to do anything like this before

You probably want a Graphics View to do it right, but if you don't care about performance, you might be able to get by with just setting the pos on a bunch of buttons to move them around on a widget (without a layout).
