I need to have an app developed for iPhone (and thereby the iOS family of products including iPod Touch and iPad) – a game puzzle. The puzzle involves a scrabble-like board with different images placed on the square pieces on the board. The idea of the game is to identify images that match a displayed pattern. A pattern is displayed at the bottom left, and an image on the bottom right (which actually is the image matched from the last move.) When the player identifies the correct image for the pattern, the image is placed on the bottom right corner and a new pattern (bottom left) is displayed for player to find the next match. The cycle continues until all the patterns are matched by its respective images. There should be a timer to time each game player plays. Store the top score of the player. Each time the game is complete, compare the score to the top score and congratulate the player if (s)he beats the top score and display the new best score (time.) Give them an option to “Play New Game”. I have the game algorithm/program written in Perl that generates (HTML) combinations of these board structure (and image placements) for each new game. That code will need to be translated to iOS code (Objective-C, I suppose.) Although, the game is simple, I would like to make it appealing by way of using any combination of graphics, motion, color, sound. I need this to be both - single and multi player game. In multi-player game, players compete among themselves, while in single player, they compete against their own top score. Preferences to be offerred to the player(s) Sound ON/OFF Timer Display ON/OFF Menu options Pause game New Game I need control of the following administrative functionalities (by way of an “encrypted” control file) – Single or multi-player game. A variable control for the type of game (that will be defined in the code.) I need to be able to update image files thru’ player’s wifi/data connection (if available) as needed. Please provide guidance and details in the matter. At player’s consent (during installation), be able to gather game information – the type of game, game time, unique ID or phone number of the phone/device and any such info for future use (optional) Please feel free to provide your suggestions – I encourage that and look forward to your creativity. Note that some things will need to be added/deleted as we progress. If possible, breakup your fix-price quote (for the project, not hourly) for different functionality (at a very broad level.) This will help me in case I need to opt out some functionality for budget reasons. Provide estimated completion time. Although, it seems that I have listed a lot of information, I think most of it is basic -Just wanted to be specific enough for you to understand. Note that the algorithm is ready for the base puzzle board. I would like to mention that it is a simple game but needs some fancy appeal. I think I have clearly defined the project to get the best estimate. If you still have questions, please feel free to ask before bidding. Please provide details of your past gaming projects. Please do not bid if you have never developed a smart phone gaming app before. All source code and files will need to be submitted as part of the contract and will be my property. Good luck. Questions for Freelancers: 1. Any prior gaming experience on smart phones? Furnish details with proof. 2. Will you offer suggestions based on your knowledge/past experience to enhance/improve the project? How do you rate your creativity? 3. How will you communicate to me during product development?
