I am wanting a ranked spades multiplayer and option of singles, multi-table ranked spades program designed. We would upload the exe. file to our server then assign a link to it and that link attached to the lobby, then any member that created a room in that lobby the program would come up. It would need to have a data base for player registration ie. name and pw. It would also need a data base to track names or accounts, and also a data base to track every match played by players to update their rank. There will be a create table, then create settings, Singles or Teams, bid timer, turn timer, game to high score, game to low score, Nil or Blind Nil, and common 10 bag rule. After each hand it would have score total for either each individual in singles or the team total score.
The payment method, the winning bid will be paid half of project cost when a playable version of the program is delivered, then the final payment made after 1 month of testing the program for any flaws. I would also like a smart "AI" for bot players. Please see the following spades sites to give you an idea of what I am looking for.
[login to view URL] is how I would want the site laid out, with particular attention to
1. table pop ups and the ability to still see the room
2. chat faciltiy at the tables where chat is at the bottom and in large long type
3. kick facility where a player cannot return or watch a game
4. buddy system
5. three levels where entry is dependent on rank.
However I would want the following additional features as found on the [login to view URL] spades facility:
1. game settings as found on their tables
2. watcher chat facility with ability to chat to players at the table
3. lobby chat facility
As regards the programming options below, I have seleted what I think would be needed, however I would take advisement on this from you.
