I've been working on this and I got the pool section operational. There are some people that is using it, but not much publicly yet. I need some guideness.

Pool... Mega banners above lobby and table. Yahoo made it in a way to make it tough for us to hide the banners.

Banners - Advertisements

The banners at the table is connected to the lobby. When opening a table, it detect if the banners in the lobby is there, then it allows the complete loading of the table. When a person close a table, the banners change in the lobby.

Two possible methods to hide the lobby banners. One is quicker and easier, but Yahoo do not seem to know how to read PHP. The lobby load up, but when opening a table, it is gray. Why? Well, it seem that Yahoo can not find the frame name in PHP, so it prevent a person from playing.

This leaves me with only one other method that I know of and that is to do it the HTML and the hard way. When a person enter a room, they have to log in and they will be taken directly to the room. There are multiple framesets to ensure login and stability. By using HTML, Yahoo is able to read the frame name for the banners and allow the table to load. Note - All framesets are hidden, except for the room.

This make my project kinda special. I think.

There are some games, Dice Slider for example, that is a single player on the web with interactive lobby. It doesnt open a new window to play a game, like Pool does. So, I could do PHP for that game, to get it done quicker.

The decision I have to make is, should I do PHP for certain games and HTML for certain games? Games that are used in HTML requires a person to login as they enter the room. Games that are used in PHP requires a person to be logged into Yahoo before going to that specific game.

What do you all think is best? Mixture of PHP and HTML, of course, informing people or having it all just plainly HTML?

The pool section is working and so far, it been great for me.

What do you think? Got any ideas? The main site is there, just links to games, but I'll get to designing the main site after I complete the backdoor for each games.

Your input would greatly help. If this really works and people really like it, then I'm going to have this on CodezHost. Contact me on YIM, if you want to.

Oh, another thing.... Should I include games that Yahoo only offer as download? Or only include games that is on the web with interactive community?

I made alot of changes. All the arcade games just completed. Now, I'm doing the card games. After all the games have access, then I go work on the pages for the left side buttons.

WOW! This looks awesome thunder... I can hardly wait for you to get to the Spades section. Do you accept bribes to do the games out of ABC order? ;-)

Looking forward to seeing this when you get there.

Thanks for all your hard work on this project.
