Multiplayer Chess Game Integration

[jdelasko]

I found a multiplayer chess game that uses only PHP and MySQL. You can view a working copy here: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/chess/

As you can see, it uses it's own database and user/user registration system. You can download the archive file which contains all the program files here: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/uploa...hess_2.5b1.tar

The developers site is here: http://somechess.org/web/ and he gives permission to do whatever you want with the code.

This is the only multiplayer chess game I have seen that uses only php and mysql. It is only human vs. human and as such, there's no built in AI, but that's ok. All I want to offer is a chess forum for my users.

I would like to see this integrated into vBulletin, unfortunately, I am not a code. I would like the game to use the vBulletin user/registration system, but I would not want users to automatically become chess users. Many users will have no interest in playing chess. Perhaps a vBulletin chess user group that registered users would have to join to be able to play chess. The way the games registration works now, users juste enter their desired user name and password, and that's it. Other users can then set up any number of games with other chess users from a drop down list. Obviously, if every one of your registered users was automatically added to the chess users, this drop down list would contain a large number of user names that had no interest in playing the game, so that part would need a bit of streamlining.

Anybody wan't to give this a go?
