I am looking to hire a coder to help me create a primitive, but functional, clone of the 2D application "RPG Maker XP". I can provide the program for analysis if necessary. Some details: Platform: Windows XP Vista Framework Definition: 4-Layer Map Render (with editing) Passability Control (Under tileset, but instead of the highest tile determining, any layer impassable makes the tile impassable) Tileset Support (with per-map custom tile size support; defaults to 40x40 px) Database Support (PC, NPC, Vehicle, Enemy, Battle, Tileset, Items (includes weapons and armors), Abilities, System, Advanced) Pixel-by-Pixel 8-way Movement system Basic Gameplay Functions (navigation, message, simple battle system, transfer between maps) Basic Event Support (NPC, PC, and Static; should support multi-file animation, and capable of frame splitting similar to RMXP) Basic Scripting Support (create a scripting syntax and expose most operations to it- script basic functions) Basic Script Editor *very* Basic Vehicle Support Load and Save Game Support (more in-depth than RMXP, should basically function like a "savestate") Seperate Editor and Player executables. Encryption (Compilation) support / integration, using 3rd party libraries Visual Effect Support for: Global Shadows (from a per-map light direction; events only), Screen Transitions, Simple Particle System, and Custom Lighting (such as from a torch, or lamp; just a basic ring and event shadows) Minimal Menu System (does not even need to be attractive, just basic display PCs, health/mana/exp, equip weapons, use items, save/load, and quit game.) Upon consideration for the project, you will be required to sign a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement. We can design and customize the GUI for the editor, as well as do any script work for the visual effects. All we are looking for is *basic* functionality. We are looking for a new developer, who can do this for a reasonable price. Full credit will be given. The coding language is available for debate, but I'm thinking C / C++ for the backend support. The original app uses Ruby for their scripting lanuage; I am not against using Ruby, although if there is something that would run smoother, I would love to hear suggestions. Serious bidders only- generic bids will be hidden immediately.

I would use blitzmax for the main program, and BriskVM for the scripting language. BriskVM is like blitzmax, a very easy to use BASIC language.

I have experience in developing video games. I can provide you a demo of past projects. The programming language is Visual Basic, but it can lead to C.
