if you Google for "black nova traders" you can still find copies of
the code that was used to create one of the most accessible multi
player online games that I have ever seen, and you could use that php
code to guide you through building your chess battle game setup.
the best thing is although you will need a data base capability on the
site, it is simple to set up and run, no big complex problems to mess
you up.
good thought Jim,

Hi Richard,
The solution I was looking at is PHP.

Hi Jim,
At this point, I am not sure what I want to do, I need to find out
what is possible first. To some extent, what I want to do will be
dependant on what is possible to do. I am trying to find out
likely technologies to look into.
I suspect a Python web framework like Zope, Twisted or other may
be a good solution, but I don't want to discount Ruby or other
solutions. I have little experience or knowledge in this area and
am looking for suggestions of what is possible.
I am reasonably certain that whatever it is, I want users to be
able to do it through a browser. My primary goals are that the
solution be universally accessible, simple and robust.
Richard

Hi Richard,
How exactly would this work? I'm asking because I saw a
content control system that is built to handle a chess club on
the internet, but I'm not sure if it has the features you are
looking for. I know that you have my personal e-mail address
and Skype ID. We can talk about it later on tonight. I will
try to find it and send you the link to it.

*Subject:* What are good technologies for two player game servers?
Hi All,
What sort of internet technologies are well suited to build a
server for two player games.
I am considering developing a server system for controlling on
going chess games, that is keeping track of all the moves so
far, the time used by each player and so forth all via a text
web interface. Many games would be in progress at the same
time and so each on-going game would be in a database that is
updated as new moves arrive.
I have been looking at just using something simple like cgi
scripted pages with form controls generated at the server by
Python, but that seems a little clunky.
Can anyone suggest suitable technologies for me to look at?
I have a good knowledge of Python, C++ and C, but will always
consider learning a new language if desirable like PHP or even
PERL.
Also I want to use a web hosting service not run my own
server. So I am looking for something commonly available.
Richard
