Multiplayer chess using PHP
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2015 6:50 pm
Hello guys I am trying to hunt down some chess that I can put on my server(s) but I've gone through "phpchess" and the much simpler "webchess" already and they both had issues that prevented me from wanting to keep them permanently. Does anyone know of a system that uses optional or no login? aka games are activated via password, I want to be able to send someone a URL and a password for simplicity (has to do with maintaining a decent size of user base, want to make it as convenient as possible..) It's possible I could just hack the user/login system out of existing software, but I'd rather find something that was designed to do it.
FYI my experiences are that "webchess" is very stable but a little too simple (doesn't even hash passwords, no multiple games simultaneously, etc) and then phpchess has a lot of functions and a good interface but I've had to fix/reinstall it on at least 3 occasions for no apparent reason.
(PS: wasn't sure whether to put this in programming or not, move if appropriate)
