Chess for Glass

Image
Besides Chess for Android, I have been working on another project, which has been officially released today! Chess for Glass Chess for Glass is Glassware that runs directly on Glass. You can enter moves by simply saying the moves, or by using the touch pad. Other features include a choice in board color, spoken move announcements, and the ability to import any third party chess engine to replace the friendly built-in Java engine. Chess for Glass recognizes all Android Chessbase compatible engines that are installed on the same Glass device, and supports both the popular UCI and XBoard/WinBoard protocols.

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+

A few weeks back, I got a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ for my birthday. This quadcopter is very easy to fly and the recorded videos are very stable thanks to the built-in high precision 3-axis camera stabilization system. I have posted several recordings of the first test flights on Google+ already, so make sure to follow me there too!. I plan to post some videos here too. Stay tuned!

It is coming!

Fruit Reloaded avaiable for Android

The chess engine Fruit reloaded (an fork of Fruit by Fabien Letouzey, Daniel Mehrmann, and Ryan Benitez) now also includes Android builds. I have just tested this in Chess for Android , and it works great. Nice to see a still increasing popularity of Android as chess platform!
