Volunteers wanted for 8 Player Chess Development

Hi.

About a month ago we created a version of 8 player chess and set up a club to play it in the forums by editing images. A month later and we have over 100 members, a sandbox image editor and we're on a push to try and make it so we have a live server one day. There's a real buzz about it and it's pretty kick that so many people are interested in it.

We're aiming for something like the 4pc server that exists here already on Chess.com. Currently, we have one guy doing all the coding and he admits there are some areas he isn't as familiar with as he would like to be.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining our development team to help bring this about?

Specifically, we are looking for people with any of the following skills:

- PHP

- Node.js

- Webhooks

- SQL Database building and website connectivity

We can't pay you and even as the versions inventor I won't be making any money from the project either (Creative Commons all the way, yay!).

Let me know if you are interested, check out the club if you would like to find out more.

Here's a picture of our 8pc board:

Thanks for Reading.

are there age requirements?

Uhh i mean its not very hard to built, i can built one myself if you wanr

Anyone can play and be a part of the club, as for volunteering we won't judge you for your age if you want to get involved in helping the project, so long as it is legal in your country to do so. Everyone's a volunteer so you can put in as much or as little as you wish.

Can I refer you to my guy who is in charge of developing the program? (I'm more game design).

I will see how much time is on my hands

Fun project! Is there a github page for it? It would be easier to help out that way. I don't think I can help in a big way myself, but I'd like to follow the developments for learning purposes, and chip in if I can.

I can give you a terminal version of it in under 2 hours....... You would have to implement the gui version yourself...

EDIT: as the gui version isn't really worth my time (not that interested in the project), but have enough code base I could change small variables and poof, it works for 8 player chess.

Oh boy, that does sound useful. Thank you! Would you like me to put you in touch with our developer?

lol i succ at programming

@HighEldar okay. Sure send him over to me.
