What are you working on? v7

[KmartSqrl]

Main issue I see would be people having different versions of plugins you're using and all that.

Just whipped up a quick class.

Sir, no I do not e-mail my mother. No need to, I am not lame. I can call her via TELEPHONE. It's an apparatus that allows you to talk to people. I understand you might not get out much, so I pictured one below.

Let me know if you need one, I can send you an extra one.

I'm currently working on some kind of chess reader for a school project.
I wanted to use HTML5 for everything, but it would be difficult getting the coörds right I guess..
So I have made two parts now:
[url]http://zerfox.com/o_en_o/testje.php[/url] (Div version, reading the positions for a little bit)
[url]http://zerfox.com/o_en_o/schaakbord.php[/url] (HTML5 part)

This is what I need to read out:
[quote=http://zerfox.com/o_en_o/raw_posities.php]
e4,c5,c3,Nf6,e5,Nd5,d4,cxd4,Nf3,Nc6,cxd4,d6,a3,Bg4,Bc4,e6,Be2,dxe5,dxe5,Be7,O-O,O-O,Re1,Qc7,b4,Rfd8,Nfd2,Bf5,Bb2,Nxe5,Qb3,Bf6,Nc3,Nxc3,Bd1,Ng4,Bxc3,Qxc3,Bxg4,
[/quote]

The goal is to convert the flash version ([url]http://digitalgametechnology.com/site/index.php/Live.html[/url]) to something like HTML5 or C++ for mobile devices (i.e. iPad).

I initially turned down this project as it was for free, but I thought I would do the front end work.
Like all free projects you end up having the piss taken out of you, no brief up front, constant additions, etc.
I picked up where the last guy left off, all he had complete was a few wireframes.
It still needs tidying up in a few areas, but its better than their current monstrosity.

It looks like a corporate website that was designed 7 years ago, not a church site.

That sounds way harsher than I meant it too, but the cold grays and that blue don't really give off a church feel to me. The extra boxes around the content are kind of weird too. You don't need to put boxes around everything to separate elements.

Its the design that was given to me, unfortunately.
What kind of colour scheme would you recommend?

Complete white with an accent colour and a serif font like Georgia. Super clean, no bullshit™

Sounds good, thanks.

Warmer colors. Light browns instead of grays would probably help it feel less corporate pretty quickly.

I've ditched the unnecessary borders and backgrounds and warmed it up a little.
I think it looks better, but there is still something little off.

That's a bit better but there's a complete lack of personality.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;35008668]That's a bit better but there's a complete lack of personality.[/QUOTE]

Corporate church websites don't really need that much of a personality.

[KmartSqrl]

Try left aligning the text instead of justifying it.

[t]http://puu.sh/jAdb[/t]

I think I'm going to leave it for now, until I actually get some content to put into it.
It does look better, its just not quite finished.

Probably because he has actually done something useful. I don't really do much with it other than a few lines, like my flash game "CMS" which has about 30 lines of code.

[editline]5th March 2012[/editline]

Also, maybe I don't have enough experience with the language or what but why do you guys always say it is a bad language? I've heard StinkyJoe say "you could shoot yourself in the foot" (or something of the like) on previous occasions.

Sorry I probably should have used less subtlety. It was a joke, I wasn't saying he was wrong or anything I was just attempting to make humour of his almost inevitable response of "php is shit", which is a fine opinion that I would tend to agree with for the most part.
