| - | 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).
