274031 Online chess site

We are looking for someone to help us develop an online multiplayer chess site where players will have the opportunity to play for money as well as for free. Below we have detailed a basic description of our game. we will send a more detailed description to selected bidders. The ‘register' link on the homepage will take the user to a registration screen where they will be asked to enter their name, username, password, email address and to select a picture from a wide available selection which will then be displayed on their profile page. Tabs will run across the top of the homepage below the main heading. The first tab will be the ‘players profile' tab which will hold the players' records for instance the number of wins draws and losses. Account details will also be available on this page. The account section will allow the user to top up using their chosen money transfer software and change their account details. On the profile page alongside the ‘picture' selected during the registration we will give users the opportunity to design their own logo which will also appear on the profile page as well as on an actual chess game. The second tab will be the lobby which will be divided into fast, medium and slow play. Players will have a choice to negotiate the price they want to wager and the number of games on a pop up box. Players will be able to accept decline and request games if they so choose. Players playing for free will still have to use the lobbies; players will be listed by those playing for money first and those for free thereafter hence users need to scroll down to find players that want to play for free. In free mode there is no pop up box. When terms are accepted by both parties the game will begin and similar to most chess games it will show a history of the last moves made, it will have chat enabled as well as allowing users to create a buddy list. As mentioned before the chess game screen will have the user's respective logos on show. The third tab is the leadership table which will include best user, country with the best users, most profitable player and tournament winners (hall of fame). The fourth tab is the tournament tab which will list the upcoming and current tournament and if players want to participate they will need to click apply where applicable. The tournament will begin on a set date and time. Users will have a set time to start their game by and if a player does not they automatically forfeit but if both users do not the player with the higher rank will proceed. We will have a first come first serve policy on tournaments. We will also need a Help and contact us tab as well as a forum. More information: We understand there is a potential problem with cheating so if there is a system that you could propose to ensure we don't have users cheating using offline systems then please let us know. We know of a way we can tackle this problem but it is a costly manner and as such a last resort. We have an understanding of programming but have only ever programmed using Pascal and we do have strong experience with web development but regardless we need a developer(s) that is patient and co-operative. We need a game that is not static and hence will need upgrading in the future. We will most likely hire the original developers for this but we might hire another developer instead. would this be possible? Perhaps the most demanding aspect of the game is that we want modified chess pieces so that the pieces resemble characters and this is perhaps the most important aspect of the game and we wanted to know whether all this work can be done by you or do we need to freelance other experts for instance designers and artist? We need to look more into how we will conduct our tournaments but we will be looking into that. We are looking for a trustworthy developer and if we are pleased with your work we will be offering you more projects in the future. We are very serious about this project and committed. Quality and reliability is important to us and at the same time we are not willing to splash out thousands (economic situation considered) so we will be judging offers on price too. Completion includes help with hosting. thank you for taking your time and reading our project description. we look forward to hear from you soon. Halim Jibreel
