ANNOUNCE: Chessclock 1.0



WHAT IS CHESSCLOCK?
-------------------

Chessclock lets a computer (ideally a laptop) replace a traditional
chess clock sitting next to a chess board.

(There is nothing chess-specific about it.  It can be used to time-limit
any two-player game.)


FEATURES
--------

- Fullscreen view showing two big digital clocks
- Set different timelimits for each player
- Optionally add time to a player's clock after their turn
- Turn counting


HOW TO GET IT
-------------

Simply checkout CVS module 'chessclock' and run.  No compilation is
necessary.


DEPENDENCIES
------------

Requires Ruby and Ruby bindings for GTK+ and Glade.

Ubuntu users can get everything they need with:  apt-get install ruby
libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby


Enjoy!
