I’m happy to inform you that first beta version of Android Chess Clock was released to Android Market, filed under category Games/Brain and Puzzle.
Application is currently fairly simple (as you can see on screenshot) but works:
Main features
- supports Android 1.5+
- players alternate by taping anywhere on the screen
- supports small QVGA screens as well as HVGA
- gently graphics without CPU (and energy) consuming animations
- independent setting of time for every player
Application was tested on T-Mobile G1 (thanks to Honza) and Google Nexus One (thanks to Vindra) as I don’t have currently real Android device.
Known bugs & user requests
- bugs
- application resets countdown when you change orientation of screen from landscape to portrait
- nice to have
- missing icon
- application does not run in full screen mode
- time can be set only as hours and minutes but not seconds
- sound when player runs out of time
Please write your feedback bellow the article.
I’m proud inform you that first public beta release of mobile chess clock application was released. Current version is available for virtually every MIDP 1.0/CLDC 1.0 capable device.
