[Announce] Chess Clock available in extras-devel
Chess Clock 1.0.0 (beta) by Arto Hyvättinen is released in the extras-devel repository under games section.
http://chessclock.garage.maemo.org/onboard.jpg Chess Clock is a game clock for chess players. It has six modes
http://chessclock.garage.maemo.org/welcome_screen.png Everything should work fine ;) The application is in its beta phase and is not fully tested. It works on PR 1.2. In real game clock use it works best when the device is charging and set to keep the display on while charging. No tests on battery consumption are made yet. All feedback is welcome. Chess board is not included. :) Website (with more screenshots): http://chessclock.garage.maemo.org/ |

Any chance of porting this to Maemo4 Diablo for N8x0?
In any event, glad you made this. If not on my N800, maybe I'll get to use it on my N9. :) |
Re: [Announce] Chess Clock available in extras-devel
Thank you so much for this great application. Can't wait to try it out in real situations. :)

Great work! Feature request: for scrabble, a more easily accessible pause button is needed. Could you have an option to put one somewhere on the main screen?

Re: [Announce] Chess Clock available in extras-devel
Thank for all feedback.
More feedback is welcome! Quote:
By the way, the application without any modifications runs fine in my desktop computer, too. Quote:
In addition, I will try to add an option to keep the screen always on when a game is running (it may eat the battery...) Arto |
Re: [Announce] Chess Clock available in extras-devel
Can you make it fullscreen and maybe have an option to vibrate when you click?

As for vibration, it could be nice to have a clearer response to touch, not sure whether vibration is the best way to do it, though. It might come later, but won't be in the next version. |

Chess clock 1.1.0 is now in extras-devel.
New features: -the screen stays on during a game (expect when paused) -pause is now a button on the game screen (instead of a menu option) http://chessclock.garage.maemo.org/running_v1.1.0.png Bug reports & other feedback is welcome. |
Re: [Announce] Chess Clock available in extras-devel
Chess Clock 1.1.2 is now in extras-devel.
New: improved battery life. -the game is paused when the application goes to background -if an individual turn takes more than 30 minutes, the screen is no longer kept on. (If you wish to resume keeping the screen on for that game, just pause and continue on another turn.) |
