We are looking for visual basic 6 coders, who can develop a vb6 front end to our chess engine (no interface required, no chess logic required). Must have:
- Full screen
- drag and drop pieces
- entire look and feel to tie in with current web design ([[login to view URL]][1])
- promotion dialog window
- flexible lay out (like photoshop, with moveable windows)
- save load state (look and feel, lay out, pieces, theme)
- no menus (have tool skinned toolbar)
- board set-up (form - place pieces anywhere on the board, reset board to opening position, reset to empty (just the two kings)
- flip board (white bottom or black at bottom)
- change pieces (select 2D pieces)
- change tile colours (select palette)
- change tile texture (select dialogue)
- clock form (for timer)
- player registration (form)
- minimize to task-tray (with icon change on special event, and pop up to announce status change)
- 3 board sizes (mini160X160, medium320*320,large 640*640)
- "who's turn" indicator
- multiple boards can be displayed (forms)
- main form is just the background and synchronising logic (background pattern see website)
- game feel (no standard grey components!)
- save on exit (forms, set selected,...)
- select computer opponent
- define computer opponent
- select opening
- welcome screen (inc ability to play short movie)
- about
- print dialog including selected board positions and annotation no print logic
- must be resolution independent! (support 800*600*16 all the way through to 1600*1200)
- must be language independent (ie English language resource)
I expect all of this to be a lot of graphic work (no windows toolbar, but custom look and feel (to minimize form, move from, close form). This is an emergency! FAST Turn around essential.
