+
-
* 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]
+
-
**Follow all of the project's bug by entering <code>general@miniature.garage.bugs</code> into the ''Add users to my watch list (comma separated list)'' input field
+
-
* 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...
+
-
=== Set up a personal clone repository of Minature ===
+
-
If you plan to get involved deeper into development it's a good idea to create a personal clone of the Minature git source repository. This allows you to do merge requests for patches you created in your clone repository. The cloned repository should be connected to Minature as upstream to make it easy to fetch changes from there. Step-by-step description:
+
-
*Create an gitorious account or log in and make sure to have an SSH-Key in place
+
-
*[https://gitorious.org/miniature/miniature/clone Clone repository]
+
-
*To allow pushing to your clone repository Follow the instructions you will get if you click onto the little green question mark next to the clone URL.
+
-
*enable upstream: Open a terminal and switch into the local folder of your clone project and enter:
+
-
git remote add upstream git://gitorious.org/miniature/miniature.git
+
-
*fetch upstream data:
+
-
git fetch upstream master
+
-
*Create merge requests: You can use the "Request merge" button in your gitorious clone project website.
+
-
 
+
-
=== 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.
+

+
