| == The concept ==
| | Most content of this page has moved to http://miniature-chess.org/ |
| [[Miniature]] is a chess board that is always with you, ready to let you play and learn wherever you go.
| | We are waiting to get the BugzillaReports extension running to move the rest. |
| | |
| * The main use case is playing online against other players at http://www.freechess.org/ (FICS)
| |
| * Now imagine that you can also chat with the other player.
| |
| * Play P2P games against other players next to you or remotely with your Contacts.
| |
| * Learning is important: watch games live, review stored games and also process offline the lessons offered at FICS.
| |
| * And not only regular chess. Think also on Suicide, Crazyhouse...
| |
| | |
| Miniature is a Qt application with a C/C++ backend and a QML UI. The architecture is modular, thinking on the addition of different servers and types of interaction.
| |
| | |
| We are targeting our development on MeeGo Harmattan and the Nokia N9 but we welcome maintainers for other ports e.g. MeeGo upstream, Symbian, Android-Necessitas, Qt powered desktops...

| == Get involved ==
| |
| Contributions are welcome! This is how you can get started:
| |
| | |
| * [[Miniature#Download|Download]] or [[#SDK instructions|build]] Miniature, and [[Miniature#Contact us|tell us]] what you think
| |
| * Spread the Miniature love among your Chess friendly contacts
| |
| * Test the game and [https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Miniature&content= check/file bugs]
| |
| * Fix an open bug in the [[Miniature/Development#Backlog|Backlog]], for instance an [https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=easyfix&query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&product=Miniature&classification=Extras easyfix].
| |
| * Help planning and implementing [[Miniature/Wishlist|new features]]
| |
| * Help porting Miniature to more platforms
| |
| | |
| === Localization ===
| |
| The localization work hasn't started yet and as a matter of fact our string are still not L10n ready. It's in our ToDo list, do you want to help?
| |
| | |
| === SDK instructions ===
| |
| Currently you can build Miniature with the latest Qt SDK (including the Harmattan target) or the Harmattan Platform SDK. The Miniature sources and commit logs are available at https://gitorious.org/miniature/ . Both SDKs come with an emulator for deploying your app. All the better if you have a Nokia N950 or N9 to test on device.
| |
| | |
| Instructions to set you Miniature development environment:
| |
| * [https://gitorious.org/miniature/miniature/blobs/raw/master/README.qt-sdk Qt SDK]
| |
| * Harmattan Platform SDK instructions are currently missing. fwiw the [[Miniature/Development/Instructions|Maemo Platform SDK]] might help since both are based on Scratchbox...
| |
| | |
| === Send us patches! ===
| |
| Found a bug? Spotted code smell? We glady accept patches! There are three ways to send patches to us:
| |
| * By [https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?product=Miniature reporting the bug], and hopefully attaching a patch that solves the stated problem (but just reporting bugs is also appreciated).
| |
| * By using the [https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/chess-developer chess-devel mailing list]: A ML-friendly patch can be created with "git format-patch HEAD~n", where n specifices how many commits (starting from HEAD) should be converted to patches;
| |
| * By issuing a merge request: Send us a link to your public git repo (including branch/revision), or use the merge request feature from http://gitorious.org.
| |
| | |
| === Architecture ===
