Using CEF requires a small knowledge about Windows/Mac desktop app development. You can also create a Windows/Mac installer to distribute the app (I used InnoSetup, but this is another story…). So you can convert any HTML5 to a traditional desktop app (and I bet some users to try guessing if Mobialia Chess 3D is an HTML5 app). Microsoft provides some tools to package HTML apps to native apps, but they will run with the Internet Explorer engine, lacking features like WebGL, WebRTC, etc.Ĭhromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is a library that allows to embed a Chromium webview in your native Windows or Mac desktop application. Recently I found this problem trying to package Mobialia Chess 3D for Windows 8. HTML5 is a fantastic app framework, but there are many environments where you cannot rely on the features support of the browser (specially when dealing against Internet Explorer, old windows versions or environments where you cannot freely upgrade the browsers). To save battery the game does not ponder (think on opponent’s time).This entry was posted in Computers and tagged chrome html javascript webgl on by rui The move time is different to ELO, it’s only the time that the engine will be thinking for each move. We made some statistic analysis to determine the relationship between the errors introduced and the ELO level, so it should be something aproximated.

If you select on the settings ELO 2100, the engine will be playing at his maximun strength selecting lower ELO levels, the chess engine lowers its playing strength, introducing errors and reducing game knowledge. But in other (slower) mobiles may be lower. On a Nexus one (with 1GHz processor) with Froyo (Android 2.2) this sould be something similar. Our Carballo Chess Engine has an estimated ELO of 2100 on a PC, playing against other chess engines. Some people is asking us about the “ELO” and “Move Time” options on Mobialia Chess. ELO is an statistical chess rating based on games results playing against other persons:
