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!

Contents

Download

Miniature is not ready for end users BUT we have releases for early adopters willing to contribute feedback, fixes or new features.

MeeGo Harmattan

  • Nokia N9 & N950: packages are being uploaded provisionally to a bug report. You can CC yourself there to get updates. The plan is to move to apps.formeego.org once that service is ready. Just install the package from the browser.

Maemo

The first version of Miniature to play games offline & P2P on the Nokia N900 can be found in the Extras-devel repository. Not maintained anymore.

Features

Look also the /Wishlist to see what is coming (if someone does the homework).  ;)

Play online - FICS (under development)

  • Login to FICS as registered user or guest.
  • See offers to play a game.
  • Filter offers by type of game, time, increment and type of rating (under development).
  • Create a new offer to play a game (under development).
  • Play a game against another FICS user (under development).
  • Chat with the opponent while playing (under development).
  • Timeseal support (under development).

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...
