Its more of a time thing, I can do the assignments just fine, but work and my masses of projects take the majority of my time. When I signed up for the class I figured it would be a breeze, but turns out the teacher picked some time intensive assignments |

I added myself to the list as well. I don't have any jobs out yet though. Quote: Its more of a time thing, I can do the assignments just fine, but work and my masses of projects take the majority of my time.

Let's hope for your sake that when you look for work in the future your prospective employers won't Google this page up and find out how you conducted your studies. |

When I have time to sign up for jobs, I might add myself to the list (or if I have to jobs to give at least) --- |

many people said: I agree with Miran. Ok, then I'll up the initial fund to 100. I'll send out updates to those who have signed up shortly. nonnus29 said: I think the system should be setup to rely one additional thing: Programmer Pride. Good point! I'll see if I can set up something that shows your current total income automatically. Perhaps I could show it as an auto-generated GIF that you can link in your sig? Suggestions? Ultio said: All other things aside; where are we going to promote this so we can get more people outside the realm of programming? This whole project is only going to be as good as the community that's going to back it and keep it alive. That's right, and I don't think it's going to work for a huge online community, because there need to be social checks. If you'd want to do it internet-wide, you might as well use real dollars. But a little promotion in other communities wouldn't hurt. The only requirement is that you have to get an account on allegro.cc.

I already have an employer. amarillion said: I might do it. If ReyBrujo still doesn't want to do it, let me know. You're hired. Attached are 5 or so assignments, pick whichever ones you feel like going. [edit] Quote: Perhaps I could show it as an auto-generated GIF that you can link in your sig? I'd put it in my sig if you had one. Maybe you should get bonuses for getting high ratings in the depot. Without that loans are pretty much useless. |

I think investing rupees in other projects is a neat idea. Like if I can convince everyone to give me their rupees so I can hire a lot of people or whatever. Of course here is where the problem becomes apparent. I don't make any rupees by finishing the project. Maybe some bank can offer to pay rupees for a successfully completed project? Marcello |

Or perhaps there could be a virtual boss. This non-existent boss virtually employs us as its workers. He then pays us rupees upon doing our job. What is our job? To work on our projects of course! We tell the VB (yes, virtual boss) this is where our project is going to be at this time and at that time, the VB pays us a small amount (like a paycheck). This way, we keep our motivation, make rupees and everybody's happy. Actually, I can already see several cons to that idea, but I just want to get some ideas rollin'. That, or we all get paid 200 rupees everytime we pass Go. ------------ |

So, what about a nice site for this? I can host it, and do the PHP/mysql code underneath it for a small fee (in AR), assuming someone can be paid to make a nice design/template for it (I am no good at web design ). |

The World Cup is near. Name a match, and I will give you how the odds are for it. Transfer up to 5 AC to my account, and if you get a hit, I will transfer the earnings back. For obvious reasons, I will only be able to accept bets until I reach my limit. -- |

I could give my 100 AR as a loan. Anyone interested? Who pays best 6 months interest? If I ever needed my munny, it would be only after 6 months. (I hereby coined the noun "munny").

How about paying people for finished products? If you actually end up finishing something, maybe there can be some way that you earn back what you payed?

Here are a few more ideas, borrowed from the open source world: Donations. Had fun playing a game? Donate a few AR to the author. Nothing wrong with that. Are you using an add-on library a lot? Donate a few AR to the author so he can hire help to extend it. It should be entirely voluntary though. It never hurts to ask for small donations though. Bounties. If you like to see a new feature added to an project or library, set a bounty, i.e. promise that you'll pay AR to the first person implementing that feature. Perhaps people can promise AR together and make the bounty really big. -- |

Quote: My rates 10 rupees per hour of work. Maybe its just me, but I don't like the whole "per hour" bit with a thing like this. Since everyone starts with only 50 AR, don't you think 1 AR is worth a heck of a lot more than that? -- |

I suppose I can take part... I specialize in lowlevel lib making and GUI design with Qt4. allegro gui is possible but that costs more. Though anything done in qt4 will have to be open source. -- |

I have a job for someone who can draw pixel art (or alternatively make 3D models and render them). Nothing fancy, just some abstract shapes. Here's a copy of the job description I posted on the wiki: Quote: Drawing game gfx: I need graphics for a Bejeweled type of game. I need 7 jewels of different colours and shapes, preferably shiny and colourful. Board tiles are 48x48 so the jewels need to fit inside that. I'd also need tile gfx (two types, like for a chess board), panel borders and backgrounds, some overlays to indicate selected jewels and a nice shiny mouse cursor. As for the system itself, I assume work is being done on a more sophisticated page. Something where people can open an account, initiate communication with other people and eventually close deals and perform munny transactions... -- |
