Description:
I require what sounds like a fairly simple program but infact it must be very good. I need a game created called Netpong and the game must allow at a minimum 2 players that can play against each other over either a LAN or WAN (The Internet). There must also be some way of minimising the effect of network delay on the performance of the game either in the code or as an option in the game. Also and Ideally a speed setting must be inlcuded in the game so that the Server Application can set the speed of the game. The GUI must look professional and must also be User Friendly. In the program there must also be some way of keeping score. Ideally the program should run in both UNIX and Windows (32 Bit Version: 95 and Onwards) however this point can be discussed. I will leave the language of choice upto the programmer however Java or C would be preferrable but this point really is open to discussion.
Although this is a personal project I am still very willing to pay a very satisfactory amount to the eventual programmer but obviously this matter is open for discussion but anywhere upto $200 is possible depending on the quality of the final project.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2)Complete comprehenisve Commented Source Code and any diagrams, schematics and planning so I can understand and report on how the program runs and how the program has been created
3) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
4) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
As mentioned above ideally both Windows and Unix/Linux but this area is open for discussion.
Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Jan 10, 2003 EDT
Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5). If the buyer omitted a time, then the deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT on the indicated date.
Special Conditions / Other:
Entire project must be completed by the 10th of Janaury 2003 and I may require a prototype version before this date and maybe some diagrams and notes. I will also require regular updates so I know how the project is coming along. Time Zone really isn't a problem as the Internet Closes!
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.
We monitor all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressers on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.

Hello.
The application you require can be created without any problems using your specifications. It will be programmed in Delphi under Windows. I can also make the Linux version, using Kylix as the programming environment, if required. If you also require the Linux version, the Windows version shall be programmed in such way that only minor changes are required in the visual interface to benefit from both environments and to keep most of the code portable across both environments.
All code shall be well commented, and any additional information can be provided after you review the code, until you fully understand it. After the bid is settled I shall provide you general program outline, including the TCP/IP or UDP (your choice) communications part. Then, I usually send a mail per day containing the comments of the day, a snapshot of the source code done so far and a compiled and ready to run executable.
The interface shall be built using only good-quality visual components to provide best graphic quality.
If you shall require both Windows and Linux versions, each version cost is $165. If you shall require only Windows version, the cost is $195. My offer may not be the cheapest, but I am sure that project source-code and interface quality is very good and will exactly match your needs.
Please check my resume for additional details of my background.
Looking forward to your comments,
Catalin IONESCU

Hello.
I just wanted to make some additions to my yesterday post.
Upon bid accept, you shall receive in at most 48 hours the project outline. The complete working application will be ready sooner than 31 December 2002, probably in about four weeks after the auction closes.
If you shall consider that the bid amount was set too high, please make your offer and we can work things out from there.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Catalin IONESCU
