[gameprogrammer] Re: Database contract

["Jason Zaphyr" <storm3@twlakes.net>]

I can handle this, but I need more details, and to take a look at your code, 
structures, classes etc..

What data needs to be sent to the database, and I am not understanding why 
your calling it a query, when a query is actually how you pull data from a 
database, and fill a record set or table, not how you put data in to a 
database, that is merely an add or an update transaction.  So waiting for a 
reply is simple, and the reply is merely going to be true or false if it was 
successfully added.

Now if you need it queried also, later to pull the data back into the 
program, I can accomplish this task too, I am a well versed database coder. 
What libraries you using, and which compiler, MS Visual C++ 2003, 2005 or 
Visual C++ 6, or even MingW, DJGPP, or other, such as LiteC?

Please email me directly with your code for the game, and libraries, and any 
comments, docs you have explaining the code in places where I will need to 
add database hooks etc.. will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

BTW: my real name is Ken the StOrM3 which coded the unit editor for Total 
Annihilation with Kinboat, so I am more than capable of handling any type of 
coding job you have.  Although, I will need somekind of guarantee or 
contract for the money, as I have been burned in the past on coding 
projects, specifically an mp3 broadcast application I wrote in VB.Net for a 
user at a contract programmer for hire website, so needless to say I am a 
little skeptical.

If you wish to talk about it in more detail email me directly at: 
storm3@twlakes.net or we can meet in my chatroom on 
http://www.mirrovisionstudios.com/ Just be sure and tell me when to meet you 
there, please make all times in Central Standard Time, as I live in 
Tennessee, inside the U.S.A.

Or Finally we can talk on the phone at: 615-897-2328 please call between 
9:00am - 7:00pm CST, and keep in mind, I am scheduled to have major surgery 
on 5/18/2007, so although I will be able to work on it from the hospital, I 
will need the source, notes, explanation on exactly what you need, compiler 
to use, and I can take my tablet into the hospital with me, and I will have 
plenty of time to work on it, unless you can get me all that I need fast 
enough for me to complete it before then, if materials and some kind of 
contract or guarantee can not be reached and delivered to me / signed and 
agreed upon before the hospitalization, I will have to wait until I get out 
to do the job, as although I will take the tablet, portable into the 
hospital, if I don't have all needed details, and sourcecode, and notes, 
etc.. and the contract or guarantee worked out before I go in, I will not 
have internet connection in the hospital to obtain it, so in that case, it 
will be done after the fact.

If this doesn't satisfy your requirements, I apologize and just hope you 
consider me for any future jobs you may have.  I am proficient at almost all 
main stream languages, VB,C,C#,Python,Delphi,Pascal,Basic,Lite-C,Various 
Scripting Languages,C++ Builder,Various Database Development languages / 
systems such as Paradox, foxpro, Access, SQL, ActiveDB, BottleCap, Proteon, 
even custom built database mgmt. systems for my various projects of 
customers, small businesses, game production, engine development, tool / 
editor development.

Thanks again for your consideration.  Maybe you and I can work together on a 
future game project, either yours or mine, I have a couple in the works 
myself.
