chess game in ajax – done by morfik team
Much had been said about the browser as a platform. It was an idea strongly promoted by, the now gone, Netscape at the start of the Web revolution, but we never got there. Did we? Yes, we did! We just did not notice it!
If you take your browsers to this chess game, you might start to understand what I mean. This game has a great interface and is played against you by your own computer. Your moves do not get sent off to a server which comes up with a response and sends a move order back to your browser. The analisys of the play and the decision of the move is entierly done in Javascript, in your own machine, by the browser.

This is a really bad choice for web app. and their example only proves it.
After “check mate”-ing it in only 17 moves, the game started to consume 100% CPU. Luckily Mozilla figured out that it is better to shut it down.

Well, I think the major intention of this “test” project was to show the possibilities around the use of Morfik WebOS to develop “complex” applications.
Also, remember that it is in “beta” state, so bugs are common 😉
PS: For those who are asking why this post is in a Firebird site, Morfik WebOS uses Firebird 2.0 as its internal database.
