Bored at work (or at home, for that matter) and looking for something to do? Online games has been reaching a newer level right now. With the availability of Ajax, online games have been a lot more fun (and faster) than they used to be. At WorldTechLogic, we’ve been posting Ajax based games before. Click HERE for our previous post. Here are some of the best Ajax-based Online Games on the net today:
MORFIK CHESS
MorfikChess is an AJAX chess application. The game features single-player and multi-player options, with a chat utility so that you can attempt to psyche out/distract your opponent. The single-player option has four levels of difficulty and at the top level searches a minimum of 5-ply ahead and continues indefinitely for particularly critical (non-quiescent) configurations. The game also features an option to print out a PDF of the game summary.
SolitaireCraving
SolitaireCraving is the perfect online version of the card game solitaire. Unlike its PC counterpart, this AJAX driven online version allows users to rate each game. So if you are a dedicated player of solitaire then you will be able to pick a game based on its difficulty level, as judged by other players.
RAILTHELLO
Railthello is an online game of Othello (also known as Reversi). It dons its name from the Ruby on Rails web development framework that this application is written in. Play some games, watch some games, or send your awesome replays to your friends.
