Re: [Announce] Miniature chess for Maemo
 

Anyone tested if it works with Qt4.7.4 (which comes with CSSU?). I am asking so if something is KO, by reporting it, I will be able to try to find the bug in Qt and hopefully fix it before the next CSSU update.

Are you planning to add the option for Playing chess against a computer. Because i like the GUI of this version!

First batch of translation teams: Chinese (China), Dutch, Finish, French, German and Polish. Welcome everybody!

Yes, it is in the wishlist. :)

mikhas actually did something already with GNU Chess as an engine but I don't know how far he went. According to him, the Miniature architecture is completely pluggable allowing the addition of backends that can interact seamlessly with the frontend/UI.

There is actually some code in place already:

https://www.gitorious.org/miniature/...me/gnuchess.cc

If someone wants to try out developing the GNU Chess integration s/he will get all the help from mikhas and me.

Personally I'm still hesitating whether the next major feature should be computer chess or asynchronous chess (play via email / sms / tweet...)

@freemangordon
Yes, it works great with the latest CSSU, although i had to put it in a blacklist, so it stays in a portrait
@qgil
Please add a Russian language over there, i would like to contribute too.

Re: [Announce] Miniature chess for Maemo
 

qgil, many thanks for this. I remember watching the miniature development many years ago (just seems like it) and now so pleased to have this finally working. You are my hero of the week.

For info, I have cssu installed and have no orientation issue, but then I lock my N900 in landscape. I think I may well be the only user on here that doesn't want portrait (except for MeBook).

Thanks again, I'm off to play some Chess :-)

The response of translations has been impressive so far.

Watch it in one single image:
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p...all-resources/

Languages looking for translators:

• Arabic (also very useful to make Miniature work on right-to-left)
• Czech
• Danish
• English (yes, we want to have native speakers in charge of the English strings)
• Hungarian
• Malay (Indonesia, Malaysia)
• Norwegian
• Portuguese
• Slovak
• Spanish (a few strings exist for testing but a team still needs to be formed)
• Swedish
• Turkish
• Ukrainian

To be honest, many thanks for mikhas. Without him we would be looking at nice mockups, at best.

The package is no optified. It takes about 2Mb of rootfs space (most of it because of qtComponents) and there are even header files installed in /usr/include/miniature.

no icon on desktop:confused:

^ You mean no icon for the icon on desktop? right?
