| + | {{Miniature}} |
| - | == The concept ==
| + | |
| - | [[Miniature]] is a chess board that is always with you, ready to let you play and learn wherever you go.
| + | |
| | | | |
| - | * The main use case is playing online against other players at http://www.freechess.org/ (FICS)
| + | Most content of this page has moved to http://miniature-chess.org/ |
| - | * Now imagine that you can also chat with the other player.
| + | We are waiting to get the BugzillaReports extension running to move the rest. |
| - | * 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...
| + | |
| | | | |
| | == Project status == | | == Project status == |
| | | | |
| - | * 2011-08-15: New Miniature UX concepts integrated to the master branch - the new engine gets a UI ([http://wiki.maemo.org/images/2/25/2011-08-12_16-25-47.png screenshot]).
| + | Tasks for the next release get a HIGH priority. All the rest falls in the Backlog. |
| - | * 2011-08-13: Miniature can be developed using Qt Creator ([https://gitorious.org/miniature/miniature/blobs/raw/master/README.qt-sdk instructions]).
| + | |
| - | * 2011-08-01: [https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/chess-developer/2011-August/000159.html Miniature 0.2.1 released!] The new Encore engine and the new QML UI, together for the first time. The game can do real seeks but still no real games.
| + | |
| - | * 2011-07-27: New UI targetting MeeGo Harmattan developed in parallel - [https://gitorious.org/testdef source] & [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12315 packages] for Nokia N9/N950.
| + | |
| - | * 2011-07-18: engine refactored around [https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/chess-developer/2011-July/000153.html Encore], a GNUChess wrapper. This is the beginning of a rewrite.
| + | |
| - | * 2011-07-06: request to port to [[Meego]] : http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?p=25031
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * The Miniature project was born as a proposal sent to the Maemo community on 2009-10-31. Check the [[Miniature/archive|archive]] if you want to dig in the past.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Download ==
| + | |
| - | Currently, there are only unstable packages that can be obtained from [[Extras-devel|Maemo5's extras-devel repositories]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The sources are available at [http://gitorious.org/miniature/miniature gitorious.org]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Development channels ==
| + | |
| - | * The developer discussion happens in the project [https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/chess-developer/ mailing list].
| + | |
| - | * We also follow the more user-oriented Talk discussion thread: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33764 Contributors needed: the killer free chess game for Maemo].
| + | |
| - | * With some luck you will find us online at #miniature in irc.freenode.net.
| + | |
| - | * Code repository at http://gitorious.org/miniature
| + | |
| - | * No bugzilla at this point.
| + | |
| - | | + | |

| - | # [[/chess clock function|Chess clock only function]]: It would be great to use the N900 as a chess clock only if there is a real board and a "real" opponent is available. The functionality will be in the apllication so a nice UI for this function is all what is needed.--[[User:jukey|jukey]] 21:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | #Chat via freechess.org should work as plugin for the messages application (xmpp/skype/googletalk/...) at the moment. How could this be done?--[[User:jukey|jukey]] 15:21, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Integrated in the roadmap:
| + | |
| - | # Possibility to play a game human vs. human offline. In this case the board should flip 180° between two moves.--[[User:jukey|jukey]] 21:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
| + | |
| - | #savegame feature for human vs computer and human vs human games cause the game tends to take quite a while.
