heh, i was thinking about a chess clock for maemo, for live games XD.Woukd be fun.
Same as the ones used in tournaments, only you tap one half of the screen or the other.
Just an idea I got. Shouldn't be all that hard, for someone who knows how to program (I haven't got a clue).

Someone proposed this idea already at http://wiki.maemo.org/Miniature/Development#Proposals
Of course you don't need to wait for a whole Miniature project for such a simple app.

ROFL, and a N900 is somehow cheaper?

Well, if you already own the N900 and you don't own a chess clock.. then it would be cheaper (if you get someone else to develop it for you) to add a chess clock application to the N900.
And, in any case, it feels more expensive to pay a medium amount of money for a wooden box with a clock than to pay a large amount of money for a shiny, high-tech gadget!

If you see a chess related thread please check that it is tagged as a "chess" thread. Use the "Edit Tags" link at the end of the page if needed.
Apparently nobody did this before me 1 minute ago: http://talk.maemo.org/tags.php?tag=chess

I cant seem to be able to edit tags, if you give me a hand I can look for some chess related threads
It's being a successful thread and actually some of the posts show clearly that there is people willing to discuss and get involved in projects about chess and Maemo in general.
This is the thread for this.
And this is the wiki page to compile all the Maemo chess knowledge around: http://wiki.maemo.org/Chess (just started, feel free adding your bits).
Your turn!
