Hi guys,

very good stuff going on here. I play chess once a week with some friends. Just for fun in a pub :-). We need a chess clock but don't want to carry it around all the time. Instead we have our N9s in our pockets all the time.

The idea is to have a chess clock app. Pretty simple:

- QT on Nokia N9
- Set up play time per player 05:00, 15:00, 30:00, 60:00, 1:30:00, 2:00:00
- Display two times one in the upper half facing up, one in the lower half facing down
- One tap starts the clock for white
- The next taps alternate between players
- Signal when one player reaches 00:00
- Allow for a (toilet and beer ordering) break :-)
- Allow for manual stop when the game finished before the time ran out
- Black background for battery saving
- Prevent screensaver kicking in hiding the clock

Anyone interested in programming this?

Cheers
