For this game I will need to develop a simple “virtual desktop”. On this desktop the user will see documents arrive and will be able to read them, approve/reject them, archive them and trash them. The desktop is a separate screen where the player handles all the “paperwork” related to the game. In effects this is just a way to give some information to the player and ask him questions. There are fundamentally three type of documents: 1 newspaper articles 2 letters informing the player 3 letters asking questions to the player I ma here asking for two bids: 1) generating the documents 2) managing the virtual desktop Please specify if your bid is for both parts or for a single part. More detail in the enclosed DOC file Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: The work will be developed in VB6 without DirectX. The use of third-party OCXs must be agreed upon. Windows 32bit, probably all versions Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on: Feb 25, 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: I MUST have your code sent to me every max two days. Time is very short, and if you fix a shorter deadline this will be a plus. Also, please specify if you will be doing interpolated resizes or not (this will also be a bonus).

If you could do a very rough sketch of how you envision this thing, on a scanned napkin if you like, I'd like to make a bid. The document part, my understanding is, that you need 3 graphics at 100%, 25% and 8% magnification. I just did a graphic scaling function, so I can get this to you in a couple of hours. Thanks, Gary Baren MCSD, MCDBA, SCEA           See 39 private reply(ies) to/from gbaren.
