If you want to have a look at what have been carrying on with, as a form of practice/making sure all is up to speed etc., here's the front-end link for the online chess game interface have been working on with PHP and MySQL: http://www.blindza.co.za/bzChess/
And, if you want to have a look at source etc., here's a dropBox link for a zip file with both source, and a .sql file which is the script for generating/creating the MySQL table structures, etc.: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/bzChess.zip This thing is still under development/bug fixing, and am currently busy finishing off things like registration procedures, game initiation, etc., but anyway. Also still need to get some sighted feedback on look and feel of things like chess board itself - have a couple of options regarding chess piece image files, etc. - but, am trying to make sure interface etc. is usable for both VI and sighted guys, and am generally making use of relatively simple javascript interface manipulation, aside from general/standard web page interface - for now anyway. Have also made sure am keeping clear of aspects that might be a bit too dynamic to work on all types of devices/units, since want to specifically keep this web app platform independent, so, for example, am trying to make sure it will also work in the browsers of things like nokia phones, etc, and that just means am avoiding slightly more advanced things like the JQuery javascript wrapper library, which alternatively makes things like DHTML and ajax implementation quite a bit simpler/easier to implement. And, yes, know there are various sites like/similar to this out there, but they're not all perfect for visually impaired/blind guys, and am also using this to just make sure am able to do various types of things with PHP, MySQLI/MySQL etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'
