Miniature for Maemo 5 (unstable)

Miniature 0.1.3-1 is available in Maemo 5 Extras-devel, a repository recommended only to developers. End users will do good staying far from it, but there is a launchpad PPA with irregularly updated Ubuntu 9.04 packages.

New features in the last version:

  • Candidate UI to move pieces: one click to select piece, second click to select destination square and click to an external button to confirm the move. Pieces and squares can be changed at will before clicking the confirmation button.
  • Checks are detected now.
  • Backend fixes improving the responsiveness of the moves.

Features implemented in previous releases:

  • Boot a screen in portrait mode.
  • Display a nice-looking board.
  • Set the pieces in starting position.
  • Enforce basic chess rules except:
    • Checkmate
    • Stalemate
    • Castling
    • En-passant
    • Pawn promotion (works in the desktop version)

Old screenshots

This is how the real application will look like in v0.1.x-x.

Cool little animation to show that pieces turn around between the moves
Situation after white's move: The player with the black pieces also is able to see it's pieces from his/her point of view
Starting position for human vs human, face to face.
Selecting one piece to move.
Selecting destination square.
Miniature learns chess in korius' development branch. Here rooks and knights know how to behave with each other.

Old mockups

How things should look like in the future. (We are looking for real designers!)

First boot.


Users
