| You love chess. You love Maemo and its devices. You believe they fit so well... yet you haven't found a convincing implementation of a chess game for Maemo. '''Miniature''' to the rescue!
| | {{Miniature}} |
|
| |
|
| == The concept ==
| | '''We are moving to http://miniature-chess.org/''' |
| | |
| More or less:
| |
| | |
| * The main use case is playing online against other players at freechess.org
| |
| * Now imagine that you can also chat with the other player.
| |
| * Playing against the computer is a given (chat is optional)
| |
| * Learning is important and it would be great to watch games, review stored games and also process offline the lessons given at certain times in freechess.org
| |
| * A variant would be to play against othe player with a compatible device via local network or bluetooth.
| |
| * I guess if we got at this point then implement variants such as suicide chess, random house, etc is peanuts.
| |
| | |
| Basing this on Qt 4.6 would be useful to assure the Fremantle - Harmattan path, be fully compliant with whatever the Ovi store brings and have ports for Symbian, Windows Mobile and desktop OSs (Linux, Windows, Mac).

| == Project status ==
| |
| | |
| Kicking off. Nothing exists. Just a [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33764 Talk thread], a [https://garage.maemo.org/projects/chess/ Garage project] and this wiki page.
| |
| | |
| == Use cases ==
| |
| Draft. Sorted by priority.
| |
| | |
| # Play games at http://www.freechess.org/
| |
| # Display games by you or others, live or stored.
| |
| # Learn chess lessons with moves + text.
| |
| # Chat with your opponent.
| |
| # Play with other opponents P2P e.g. via Bluetooth.
| |
| # Play local tournaments e.g. via Telepathy Tubes.
| |
| # Play against computer.
| |
| # Chess variants (suicide, randomhouse...)
