Ipod & Glaurung

Post by swami »

Any news on the progress, Tord?

Chess Genius for Ipod is soon scheduled to be released, but I'm particularly interested in Glaurung! :wink:

Hello Swaminathan,

Thanks for your interest! My work on the iPod/iPhone version was delayed by many months for legal reasons: Apple's development toolkit for the iPhone OS was delivered with an NDA, which unfortunately made it impossible to release open source programs. Recently, the NDA was finally lifted, and I can start working. Unfortunately, I have too many other things to do at the moment, and I don't expect to be able to start working seriously on iPhone programming before early next year.

Thanks for the info, Tord. I hope you get back to working on it when you have free time. :)
