| - | 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).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Features ==
| + | |
| - | None for real users yet. Miniature is just few days old and we are defining the features of the first relase.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Check [[Miniature/Development]] to follow the latest status and to get involved.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Roadmap ==
| + | |
| - | Draft. Sorted by priority.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Items with "?" are optional/dubious and might be moved for later phases of development or removed from the roadmap once we focus the discussion on them.

| - | ## Finger friendly UI.

| - | ### TODO: extract all move mode proposals from thread so we can evaluate them while comparing working examples.
| + | |
| - | ## Portrait mode.
| + | |
| - | ### TODO: find out why "setAttribute( Qt::WA_Maemo5ForcePortraitOrientation, true); setAttribute( Qt::WA_Maemo5ForceLandscapeOrientation, false);" is not sufficient (used [http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt-x11-maemo git master from here], but it now says: "don't use it". Perhaps [http://qt.gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/x11-maemo/commits/4.6-fremantle-rebased this] just works now?)
| + | |
| - | ## Pieces can be moved manually.
| + | |
| - | ## Only legal moves are possible.
| + | |
| - | ### Option to highlight legal moves?
| + | |
| - | ### TODO: draw a sequence diagram or similar to demonstrate the necessary interactions between remote server, our game component, and the board representation. Also indicate how the user is notified.
| + | |
| - | ## "Black/White Wins!" banner after a mat.
