Description:
I need an application which has the ability to emulate the Microsoft Agent technology. I could use the Microsoft
Agent technology, but would rather have a uniquely owned designed solution.

Initially, the agent “clone” should perform a few basic tasks, such as walking
on the screen, gestures etc. I can provide the graphics based on programmers Suggestions, e.g format, size etc. It should detect the screen size and be able To be dragged to alternative locations, it should not allow off screen movements.

It should be similar to the Agent found in Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0 Or the assistant found in Microsoft Office 2000. It should be transparent as these agents are, using the BitBlt functions etc.

The agent should be able to execute on the Windows 9x/Me and NT/2000
operating systems or be executed from a HTML or ASP page. Ideally, it would be developed in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, but Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is
just as expectable. If the operating system must be tied to Windows NT then so be it.

If the initial demonstration version were acceptable, I would then request more comprehensive updates to allow better graphic manipulation and enhanced functionality.

This would be on going…

For Example (Future Version).

It should allow the graphics of the characters to be changed
Allowing graphics artists to create characters based on different Company identities. This may be template based etc.

It should be able to play .Wav files and present bubble captions
which allow actions to be performed, “For example: Do you wish to
Jump to the corporate web site, Yes or No”.

It should be COM driven so the actions and events such as move, walk, gesture and display bubble messages
that can be accessed and controlled via either VB or VBScript.
I think this project will be fun and challenging for anyone who thinks They are up to the job.


Deliverables:
Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.


Special Conditions / Other:
This initial demo phase should be completed in about 5-6 weeks. This will act as a framework for future enhanvements.

Hello,

I know how to write an application in VC++ that uses MS Agent technology through COM/OLE interfaces. Would it be acceptable to do the same in your app? i.e. fully reuse MS Agent control for custom characters,movements and simulate features like MS Office, instead of the uphill task of writing a custom Agent clone. this way,you just have to distribute the Agent activex dll for systems that do not have it preinstalled and use it's functionality.

Thanks.

I have entered my bid. AFAIK, there is no change in plans. I have started coding and am waiting for your confirmation.

Hello David,
I have entered my bid several times but I have not received a response from you. I'm in the dark as to what is happening. Could you tell me about the project status as of now? I'm waiting for your confirmation to start coding and have coded some portions already.
