Chess or Checkers

Sep 25, 2007 11:23AM PDT

Does anyone know of a way to allow registered members of a site to play chess or checkers with each other over the internet using a board embeded on the site? I would like to have the option of having two players play chess or checkers with each other if they click a link on the site -- completely web based. I have thought about flash but, I have not found a flash program that will play either of these games with two players over the Internet.

Does anyone know an answer to where I could find an online version of Chess or Checkers that is multiplayer and web based?

But to do this may require some programming background as well as some artistic flair. Do you write (web or other) software?

This is important so my answers are set to your skill level.

Thank you for your reply. I have programed in Java and in C -- along with doing some graphics programs. I would consider myself an intermediate programer. I have made a few websites, but they are mostly for personal use with school. I hope that this gives you an idea of my experience.

Ok. Armed with that here's what I suggest.

So You Want to know How to Create a Login Form???
Oct 22, 2007 6:17AM PDT

For my website, I also need a log in form. And the best and easiest for me to use was the Javascript one. There are some levels between them. The one I am going to tell you is not the best for security. But still, it is not like the regular javascript you find in javascriptkit.com. This is what one of the code looks like form javascriptkit.com-

<script language="javascript">
<!--//
/*This Script allows people to enter by using a form that asks for a
UserID and Password*/
function pasuser(form) {
if (form.id.value=="JavaScript") {
if (form.pass.value=="Kit") {
location="page2.html"
} else {
alert("Invalid Password")
}
} else { alert("Invalid UserID")
}
}
//-->
</script>

<center>
<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="12" border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2"><center><h1><i><b>Login
Area</b></i></h1></center></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>UserID:</b></i></h1></td><td><form name="login"><input
name="id" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>Password:</b></i></h1></td><td><input name="pass"
type="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><input type="button" value="Login"
onClick="pasuser(this.form)"></center></td><td><center><br><input
type="Reset"></form></td></tr></table></center>

If you look closely in it, you can see that there is the username and password listed in it and it is only ofr one member. So I searched and found the one I use right now.
You can download the file from here- http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~jab6h5

It is a zip folder, so unzip it. There are some files and upload all of them. There is a HTML file, that is the login page. There is also a file called PasswordHelper and it is in the format of VBScript Script File. That is the file you use to make new user and it asks you for the username and then the password and after that, it is the place where you are going to be taken to. Every time you create a new account, there will be a new file created which will only open by Dreamwever. You DO NOT have to edit that. So just upload it every time you have a new member.

BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CREATE A NEW MEMBER DIRECTLY WITHOUT THE HELP FORM THE WEBMASTER!!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT, PLEASE POST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
