Knights, the KDE 4 chess board, is now in KDE playground.
The code part is pretty much ready to be reviewed and released, however the default theme is only in the PNG format, while KDE’s themes are usually in the scalable SVG. This leaves some artifacts on the board, like black lines between tiles. As I’m far (very far) from being an artist, I’ll need some help there.
There have also been some changes since the last release on kde-apps.org, notably the introduction of clocks and time limits. I’m still unsure how to implement them for computer engines, to make them realize they have a limit and play accordingly. Also, I will have to include network play some time, and I don’t have any ideas about what to do with time limits there. I might just as well enable them for local play only.
I also just committed the change to use Knights’ old application icons. It looks nice, although it would fit in better with some more transparency.
