This is sweet! I am interested in creating a game but not quite sure where to start. I have been working as a full time ColdFusion programmer for the last 8 years but I never did any solid work on flex/flash. Do you recommend any books to read?

Far better for monetizing is change your software and create chess client for FICS.

Thanks! Todd Williams did all of the artwork and most of the Flex work. You will find him at http://www.taterboy.com/blog/

As always, us back-end guys get no credit or fame. j/k

We are using ColdFusion 8 with the version of LCDS that ships with it (2.61 I think).

We might move it to ColdFusion 9 soon, but like I said in the article, we started this little project back in February.

More details shortly in my blog.

Thanks!

Awesome work – one quick question though…
I saw from your screen capture that you’re tracking wins and losses – will you also have player ratings (like 1360 for example)?

I love boardgaming, but hate Chess, so this isn’t my thing. But as a Flex developer, you guys are living my dream. I’ve always wanted to create a Flex gaming engine, but you guys blow me away. That is some major talent displayed right there. Your artist and Flex front-end developer are fantastic.

Sweet, good work guys, I’m not a chess fan really, but I love to see good examples of air and flex at work.
