Looking For A Reliable Coder

Hello,
I am close to finishing up my game but I am having trouble with loading and saving and setting up variables between menus.
What my game is: A simple game of catching falling objects. When you catch a certain amount of objects you get between 1-3 stars.
What I’m looking for: Someone to set up system to make stars appear on the menu scene when they’re in a level and save the data at any point in the game as efficiently as possible for 25 levels. As well as a simple explanation on how it works. Because I’d like to learn how it works.

I’m not going to sign on the line away until I finish up the levels, but that should be relatively soon (college takes up a lot of time :stuck_out_tongue: ). I would like a reasonable price but I’m not a cheapskate, a fair price for reliable work. Please send me a quote at danny.kilkenny@yahoo.com and website or resumé to show some of your past work. Please include a time frame of how long it would take. If you have any questions for me to in order to provide a more accurate quote or any other reason please don’t hesitate.

Is your goal to actually sell this game, or is this a college project?

I’ve done everything on your list before multiple times, but I think it’s something that is better learned than paid for. [import]uid: 36054 topic_id: 17938 reply_id: 68467[/import]

Oh, sorry I could see how it would look like that. Na, I’m headed for a Mechanical Engineering Program at Akron U in Ohio. Right now I’m just taking some English and Political Science classes at a community college, classes are cheaper there. I’m just trying to make some money to pay for my portion of college. So the goal is to sell the game. [import]uid: 59140 topic_id: 17938 reply_id: 68472[/import]

I’ll definitely check out this link but I really haven’t found a good tutorial to set up a system to make stars appear on the menu scene when they’re in a level. I’ve looked at the Ansca APIs but I can’t understand them. Do you, or any one else, know of a good explanation and tutorial of how to do this. I would greatly appreciate it.

Catch the sample [import]uid: 65903 topic_id: 17938 reply_id: 68523[/import]

Wow! Thanks for the sample program. The only thing is I’ve been coding for a year and a half and I don’t understand all the code you wrote. Would you be able to explain the basics of how the code you have works? I did see your comments but I don’t really know the code. Also, is saving data included in this? I ask because it looked like you had strings and io.write(string.rep) etc. I was able to understand play.lua and menu.lua pretty well but just maybe some clarification?

Thank you again very much!
