iShudan – Go for the iPhone (and everyone else)

I finally joined an open source code project. This one in particular, my friend David recently began. There’s just the two of us so far, so if you like the game Go, own and iPhone, or just want to add some PHP, MySQL, Javascript, XHTML, CSS, Design, etc… experience to the team, check it out and join our project.

We are storing it on Google Code Projects under the name iShudan: http://code.google.com/p/ishudan/

So what is iShudan? Well, you could read all about it on the code project page, but to summarize:
iShudan is a web interface that makes it possible to play and record games of Go on the iPhone (or any other browser). We are specifically designing it to be compatible with the iPhone design standard. It is crucial that we take advantage of this new UI system, partially because it’s an opportunity to get experience coding for this new spec but also because it’s just the coolest usage of the software we could find. And, besides, David has an iPhone and he’s obsessed with the game Go :)

There is a working demo: http://intellectualpirate.com/iShudan

We are building upon Benjam’s fork of phpGo.
