I have been working for the past couple weeks on some nifty third-party things for Weewar. To collect them together into one spot, I have started up Weewar Labs.

First I developed the Weewar Rankings page which polls the live Weewar server regularly and collects historical data for active players, including rating and wins. It then ranks players using a basic classification system based roughly on those used in some chess associations. You can also click on players in the listing to see graphs of the data over time.

Recently, I announced the Weewar Players Association. Quoted from the home page:

What is the WWPA?

The Weewar Players Association is a community of like-minded Weewar players.

What is the purpose of the WWPA?

The purpose of the WWPA is to serve as a useful social resource for Weewar players. It was created in response to the need of the Weewar player base to regulate itself in terms of fair play and good sportsmanship.

What can the WWPA do for me?

The WWPA maintains and publicizes a list of players who adhere to some modest guidelines on fair and honourable play. You can use this list to help you find opponents who won’t spoil your fun.

What does it cost?

Just like Weewar, WWPA membership is absolutely free. Registration is quick and easy, and you don’t even need to provide an e-mail address. Join now!

My next endeavour will be Weewar notification via instant messenger. Stay tuned!
