Sandscape is a browser based platform that allows you to play card games (CCGs), at the moment focusing in the game created by the WTactics project ( viewtopic.php?f=22&t=513 ). I started the project after finding about WTactics merely because I wanted a browser based client to start playing the game. I've never before play any CCG, not even Magic the Gathering, but was intrigued by WTactics and the cards being created.
The platform aims to provide a complete playing system with card, user and game management, chat areas to arrange games, spectator modes and all the necessary features to provide a simple "turn key" solution that any CCG gamer community can install and use for their own games or any user can provide to his/her friends.
At the moment I'm trying to make the code more stable and usable, the current milestone is called Soulharvester and will be finished this week (I hope ). The next milestone should end with a public release (long overdue) and some performance optimization along side with some new features that should make the platform almost feature complete.
Here is an image from a previous milestone:

You can learn more about the project in the following places:

- Code repository, http://sourceforge.net/p/sandscape/git
- WTactics project, http://wtactics.org
Now the not so fun part, I need help , specifically I need one other PHP developer that can help the project keep it's pace if I'm unable to spend enough time in the project. Many of the features are easy enough but the project suffers setbacks every time I have a week or a moth that demands more of my time doing my paid job. Things like improving performance and testing new technologies (like evaluating the usefulness websockets) are being postpone due to the lack of time from my part.
NOTE:
I wan't able to shrink the image, does the IMG tag allow for WIDTH/HEIGH parameters?
