>Kevin Hoang Le and his team have created an
Ajax Chinese Chess game.
It’s true Ajax (as opposed to just Javascript) since all the move computations of the “computer” player is done on the server and the data is passed in JSON format back and forth.
The Javascript code is entirely unobtrusive and weights only about 30 kB (uncompressed). This code uses the excellent Mootools and JavaScript VectorGraphics libraries. On the server side, it’s built in Python using the Django framework.
Ajax Chinese Chess features the following: animation, drag and drop, fast loading (thanks to lightweight Javascript code mentioned above and small footprint Mootools), no plugin required and cross browsers/cross platforms.

omg. that’s awesome! i have a feeling nothing will get done today. :(
Since there are already a couple of Mootools news add a Mootools category.
Nice demo btw.
Great work. Very responsive and fast. Everything on that screen is a DIV tag. If you have Mozilla or FIrefox, to see the individual DIV tags move, go to the game and then paste the following into the URL and hit return:
javascript:{var R=0, x1=.1, y1=.05, x2=.25, y2=.24, x3=1.6, y3=.24, x4=300, y4=200, x5=300, y5=200, I=document.getElementsByTagName(“div”), L=I.length; setInterval(function (){for(var i=0; i-L; i++){var S=I[ i ].style; S.position=’absolute’; S.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+”px”; S.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+”px”}R++},5); void(0)}
what the hell is the rules? :)
add me ,let me join it,I’m good at Chinese chess!!

Great ! but the computer seems not smart…
this is less and less popular, even in China! Too difficult.
Good stuff, but sometimes the computer seems to be hanged
