TV Chess Basic

Technical Highlights ​

  • Framework Integration: Built with Framework7 and enClose, demonstrating smooth bidirectional communication between JavaScript and native code
  • Chess Engine: Utilizes chess.js for game logic and chessboard.js for the interactive chess interface
  • Native Feature Access:
    • Text-to-speech for humorous game commentary
    • Device haptic feedback for tactile response
    • Sound playback for enhanced user experience
    • Local data persistence within the app's document directory
    • iOS share sheet integration for sharing game PGN history

Developer Learning Opportunities ​

  • Implementation of external display support (mirroring or via HDMI dongle)
  • User preference management for themes, backgrounds, and interaction options
  • Data export functionality (PGN history) demonstrating content sharing capabilities
  • Modular architecture showcasing proper separation of web and native components

This sample serves as a comprehensive reference for enClose developers looking to build feature-rich applications that combine the development efficiency of web technologies with the performance and capability advantages of native iOS features.
