   Strong C# developer needed to help newbie
Team name:RobotzProject name:RobotzBrief description:I came up with this game idea many many months ago:I had some excellent help from somebody, but then they got busy...leaving me with an almost playable game that just needs a bit of polishing.  I do not have the strong knowledge of C# needed to understand several aspects of the game.  With just a little bit of help I could finish the game!What I would like to do is the following:1)  Implement "Save Game" and "Load Game" functionality. (Object Serialization?)2)  Implement 2 player mode over the internet.  (Object Serialization?)3)  Once the game is demonstrably playable, write a detailed tutorial on how the game is put together.About the game itself.The game is a simple 2D board game.  You have the following game pieces:Master Robot - Kill your opponent's Master Robot to win the game.Destroyer - Can attack other game pieces.Engineer - Can push "walls" around the game board.Medic - Can heal other game pieces.Each side gets a certain amount of "movement points" each turn, to spend on piece movement or attack or wall pushing or healing damaged pieces.  Spend your points wisely!Target aim:Freeware.  The complete game source code WILL be made available, along with a detailed tutorial of how the game was made.Compensation:No pay.  Your name will be listed in the game credits IF you see this project through to completion.Technology:OS:  Windows (I only have XP Pro)Development Language:  C# (specifically, Visual C# Express 2005)Graphics API:  GDI+Talent needed:I know the game design and game rules forwards and backwards.What I really need is one or two VERY strong C# developers to help me finish the game.At some point, we will need to polish the graphics a little-bit so they are nicer.It would be nice to add sound at some point.Team structure:Just me for now.  I am looking to change that.Website:GAME WEBSITEContacts:Contact Tom KnowltonAdditional Info:I think that with a month or two of reliable, consistent help we could finish this game.Please make sure that if you decide to help with this project, that you see it through to completion!!I would rather have no help than excellent help which dies in a few weeks due to lack of time or interest.Feedback:ENCOURAGING ONLY[Edited by - Tom Knowlton on January 17, 2006 5:44:14 PM]
  I might be able to help you.  I've recently made the switch from C++ to C#, but I'm still familiar with C++ and unmanaged DirectX.  I may not have the most open schedule of all, so if you're looking for someone with total time dedication, then i won't be able to help you, however, I will be able to help for an adequite amount of time.   ;Quote:Original post by DeNovoI might be able to help you.

I am patient.  All I ask is that whoever helps me does not abandon the project half way through.  That puts me back in the same situation again.  If I knew everything I needed to finish the game, then I would, but I don't!  I DO need a mentor...someone who can show me how it should be done, help me comment the code (so I can study it), help me write the tutorial so others can benefit from our efforts as well. Based on my clarification I hope you still want to help-out.  Please post in here and confirm that you want to help, or E-mail me directly.Thanks so much!   ;  DeNovo:I got your e-mail, but when i tried to reply I got a Failure notice.You can download the source code off the website I posted above:DOWNLOAD SOURCE (NOTICE the link for GAME SOURCE DOWNLOAD)Let me know when you get the source code and / or write to me with an e-mail address I can respond to.Thanks,Tom   ;  ALL:I have recently edited this post.I am now asking for strong C# developers to help me finish my game.I need a mentor who can teach me and help me finish the game.   ;  This has nothing to do with your request, but this looks like a really cool idea for a game.  I hope you're able to finish it.   ;Quote:Original post by ArglebargleThis has nothing to do with your request, but this looks like a really cool idea for a game.
