An opening in Miniature

You love chess. You love mobile devices. You believe they fit so well... yet you haven't found a convincing implementation of a free chess game. Miniature to the rescue!

Miniature is a chess board that is always with you, ready to let you play and learn wherever you go

At the moment we target MeeGo Harmattan running on the Nokia N9 and N950.

Feedback, features and ports to other platforms & devices are welcome!

We love feedback!

Get involved

See the /Development section to know more about the project status and areas welcoming help.

We welcome testers and contributors!

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. If you are thinking on bringing new features let us convince you.  :)

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...

History

Yes, we do have some history at this point. It all started here:

Check the archive if you want to know more.
