I don't know your backgound, but in the commercial world rates of pay are agreed in advance. If you think the work produced is substandard then you are at liberty to terminate the contract. However, I don't know many people who are likely to take up your offer under these conditions.

You originally wrote: A team of programmers have already built the foundation for the game as now we just need to start working with DirectX.
I thought you had a team working on this; are you now saying there is only one person on it?

Look, I don't have time to mess around. Are you interested or not?
I have decided that the work produced will determine how much the person gets paid and that's my final decision.
I have already got people interested in this already. I do have a team but my MAIN programmer has the code, the the rest of the team members deal with other things like 3D modelling, graphics design.

You've been messing around on Code Project for months!

Good luck.

Looks like you've covered all the bases then.

You've been annoying me for month as well. Always replying to a thread or post when you're not interested.
So in future stay well out of my way, Got it.

On the contrary I have been trying to give you some useful advice and also get you to use these forums correctly, rather than just trawling for someone else to do your work for you.

Kindly do not use this sort of language, it does not endear you to any of the professionals around here.

I apologize. I just need someone to help me with the DirectX for the game, but no one is helping me.

I find it astounding that despite all the responses to your posts on these forums you still seem unable to understand that people here will not do your work for you. If you need to learn about a technical subject then there are many options open to you:
- buy a book
- find an online tutorial using Google or any other search engine
- read some of the articles here at the Code Project - there are hundreds
- use the help available at MSDN[^]
Much more I cannot suggest.

Richard did explain about that. If you need a DirectX programmer, hire one on a contract instead of creating threads on the collaboration forum. It's pointless.

Yeah, there are cheap "coders" everywhere, and I'm sure he won't afford me (or any other reasonably good programmer). Get what you pay for. Or he could choose from one of those jobless Americans too!

Hi,
I only have two comments:
1.
You must have noticed your PRE tags did not work. That probably is because they got encoded, i.e. the < sign got replaced by < etc.
Please fix this (edit again) if you hope to get any help.
2.
You're in the wrong forum; yours is a programming question about graphics; I suggest you repost in the Graphics forum.
If you fix both and I notice so, I'll delete this message, and then you'll be able to delete yours.

I would like to apologize to all if my post was not that appropriate.
I just really like to have some idea or comments that would make my txt based
game better. I was now trying to create some graphic of that txt rpg using
dark gdk kit.
Again if my post was not appropriate kindly reply to this and I will delete it.

I've recieved emails stating that Spynet Logs the keys twice on their system.
(eg. www.yahoo.com becomes wwwwww..yyaahhoooo..ccoomm)
I've Tested it on Win2kS(SP4) and WinXP(SP3) as of now, but wasn't able to reproduce the problem...
Although i'm pretty sure its coz, spynet is intercepting both KeyUp and KeyDown messages...
If you get the same problem, please do me a favour and post your system details...thank you!
You can find the link in my signature...

I wanted to polish my web development skills and was looking for a fun project to do.
Because I have a development background and all comes back to binary code, I decided to make a binary clock.
But there are already so many binary clocks out there, so I had to build one with a twist.
These days, internet marketing is a popular topic as well, and I decided to combine these 2 things together.
That's why I have build watch-a-logo[^] where one can submit[^] his own website and attach a logo to.
So if anyone of you have a website you want to promote, or just need to kill some time, check it out.
I appreciate any constructive feedback to make this a fun place to come by and kill some time. And of course, help others in promoting their website or blog

Hello everybody, i have just studied testing in a short time (about a month ago). For me, it's very interesting but it's so large to search the material for my seminar project which is about Model-based Testing. It includes: process to setup and use Model-based testing, testing standards, Abstract State Machine Language Tool,...Please help me!!!
Thank you very much!

I am programming 5 years now. I am the phase of sharing my framework with some friends.
- already using unfuddle.com , to svn my project between home and outdoors.
- already using excell 2007 / google docs for my flowcharts.
- got a 1 meter high pile of handdrawn graps and drawings to scan into pdf.
- i want to rip out all the xml comments in my vs project towards a easy editabble help file online.
- i already have my own website where i can host a sql database , if need be.
- i would like to start with a project progress page.
I would like be spending max 15 euro/month for this.
I want to opensource for only a selected few , and the rest of the poeple can pay for my efforts.
Can you guys point to a right dirrection articles/websites ?

I've just released a beta version of a requirements planning management application. It's ASP.NET/C# 2.0 and uses db4o.
The application is stable but I'd like to get some feedback and some thorough testing to find bugs. It will also help me decide which future features to focus on.
The SystemPlanner info page is here:
http://www2.softwaremonkeys.com/mojo/systemplanner.aspx
It's one of a collection of modules for use in the WorkHub2 modular framework. Downloads, SVN, and other info can be found here:
http://www2.softwaremonkeys.com/mojo/workhub2.aspx
The SystemPlanner module is currently included in the WorkHub2 release and SVN along with 3 other modules.
An online demo is also available at the link above so you don't need to download to test it out.
Please post all feedback or issues in the forum:
http://www2.softwaremonkeys.com/mojo/discuss.aspx
Thanks in advance for all feedback and/or bug reports.

I've been making the effort lately to turn my side project into a small business. I'm at the point now where I'd like to offer my program up to the gods of beta testing.
My project is the Pelnor Help Add-in. It is a Visual Studio add-in for creating front end project documentation and help files. It works with VS 2005 and 2008. It can create documentation as PDF, XPS, HTML help, and WinHelp. I'm going to run this beta test until May 1st.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in please visit http://www.pelnor.com/[^] to download the program.
Thanks.
