Showdown Game 05.09.08
Request for Proposal/Quotation
We are looking for a company or individual with a strong knowledge of Actionscript 2 and/or 3, XML and object oriented programming principles that can create a class-based interface for a simple war-type card game. The basic functionality and look of the game will greatly resemble the game found at the following URL:
http://www.puncher.co.uk/hum_trumps-presidents.php
Our game will differ in that there will be the option for one or two players.
The basic game programming structure will include at a minimum the following classes with any corresponding methods in order to provide the necessary functionality:
Game class
Player class (including simple AI for computer)
Deck class
Card class
The exact implementation of the classes, interfaces and instances will be determined by the winning bidder and approved before development. Note: One specific requirement ¬ the state of the game must be tracked in such a manner that allows for it to be easily recorded to/retrieved from an external repository (local file, database, remote file).
The data for the Deck class will be loaded from an external XML file, and will have syntax similar to the following, although the number of cards/stats per card will vary:
<DECK>
<CARD_BG_IMAGE>background_image_1.jpg</CARD_BG_IMAGE>
<CARD>
<NAME>Abraham Lincoln</NAME>
<IMAGE>lincoln.jpg</IMAGE>
<STAT1 TITLE=Years in office VALUE=4/>
<STAT2 TITLE=Height VALUE=74/>
<STAT3 TITLE=Number of Children VALUE=2/>
</CARD>
<CARD>
<NAME>Jimmy Carter</NAME>
<IMAGE>carter.jpg</IMAGE>
<STAT1 TITLE=Years in office VALUE=4/>
<STAT2 TITLE=Height VALUE=69/>
<STAT3 TITLE=Number of Children VALUE=1/>
</CARD>
</DECK>
The completed files must be commented/documented in accordance with recognized programming principles.
If you have any questions regarding this RFP/Q, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you.
