FAF would benefit from chess

Postby SeraphimLeftNut » 03 Dec 2013, 03:55

How difficult would it be to implement chess matchmaking through FAF using something like this?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/multich ... =directory

This would have a positive effect on player numbers and exposure. It would also be useful during setons lag fests.

I think this is going to be fun

If someone could explain what chess matchmaking actually does, or provide the documentation of that little programme, it would be really nice.

Few people actually understand you if you say "this program is great, we need it". Provide some explanation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the idea here is to actually have chess on faf. The idea being it could possibly attract more people to the game and ,as TA put it, could be something to do when a setons game lags heavily.

I think having different games all at the touch of a button is a great idea. it would bring more people (and contributors). It may even convince some of the other game players to try out SC if they haven't already.

"Oh FA is so great because you can play chess instead (because the game itself is too boring)".

No, I don't like the idea at all.

if you add a tab with chess, its would almost be as if the developers were recognising quiet periods. which isn't a great advert at all.

luckily we have such a game being created, to keep you entertained... GW

I find that insulting when a game is stating me the obvious ("press X to open the door" the 20th time I see a door).
