Scid

I'm thinking of getting a Table Computer, it will not be made by Apple 
or be shipped with any kind of Windows, and that leaves us with Android 
or some rarities.

I'm aware that running SCID or any of the forks I know about on Android 
is more than just compiling and running, so far as I've been able to see 
TCL/TK isn't there either,

This doesn't help the search:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/1691
and this suggest TCL isn't there:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/20310 but its almost two years old.

There are HECL (similar to TCL) and JACL (TCL written in Java), but I've 
not yet found anything like TK.

OTOH there is this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scid.android&hl=en

and there other means to run Stockfish and such.

SCID's fine on my HP Mini (screen 1024x600) so the tablet screens would 
be fine.

What am I asking?
If anyone here feels inclined to try programming for Androids, here's a 
project for consideration.

The tablet for what tablets do. I have made my choice, it's an ASUS TF300T with keyboard/dock. With the dock, it folds up like a netbook with 15 hours' battery life. Without dock, it's much like other 10" tablets with Android 4.0. I've installed Google Goggles and some other barcode-reading software, and SCID on the go. SCID on the go is better than advertised. It's written in Java, and while I expect it can indeed read SCID databases, it can actually create its own. Directly from TWIC and some other places. It also has header and position searches. One thing it does not do is merge new downloads into an existing database, so I have separate databases for each TWIC download, one for each round (tiebreaks separately) of the World Cup arc. Oh, SCID on the go comes with critter, but _that_ isn't good for battery life. Major problem to date Everyman's ebooks are not (yet) usable on Android. New In Chess has quite a few chess ebooks, as far as I could see all from Everyman's.

With the docking station attached, it functions pretty much as a netbook, but with a much better screen. The docking station provides a keyboard and full-sized USB and SD card sockets, and a second battery giving a total battery life of around 15 hours. I've installed SCID on the go, it's better than advertised in that it can create SI4 databases. It can also download direct from some sites including TWIC. Unfortunately, one download == one database, so each week of TWIC goes into its own database. It's crook when downloading a tournament's games, round by round. It comes with critter. I've also found droidfish, based on stockfish (and it's UI is loaned to SCID on the go) and Stockfish. One thing to remember when programming for tables is that "mouse clicks" are done with fingers and thumbs which are not very precise. And my tablet notices if my finger or thumb hovers near the screen - actual contact isn't required and this is often interpreted as a long press, akin to a double click, with generally undesirable consequences - instead of SCID advancing move by move, it skips to the end. -- Santa

Re: [Scid-users] SCID or SCIDVS on Android From: Steven <stevenaaus@ya...> - 2012-08-20 07:01 It's a shame there's no Android port of wish. (Here's a slightly dated link. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/DEoFyGUWYmE[1-25] These devices have really come of age imho. But perhaps Scid is a little cumbersome for them even with an 11" screen .... S.A.
