Anyone want to help me out?
Hi All,
Dunno if im in the right place for this, but I need a favour from any kind soul out there...
Im doing my university dissertation; the topic is to build a 2D game engine, in Java, for board games. So if there are any game developers out there, who have an interest in building a board game, I need you to provide requirements for my project. Once the engine is built, there may be some testing to do.
Anyone whos interested (and is not planning on doing a runner anytime soon) please post back and we can dicuss further...
Thanks!
No one on these forums is going to do that for you. If you try to do it own your own, and have some problems, we will be happy to help you, but no one will do it for you.
I think you have misunderstood...I am not looking for someone to do my homework for me...It is a requirement of my dissertation that I find someone who could potentially benefit from the project to provide requirements of what they would like the engine to do. I will not be asking that person to do any of the programming etc. Just to provide requirements and possibly sign off that the finished product meets the requirements.
This allows me to prove that the engine is of use in the industry, rather than making up my own requirements, with no experience of the industry. Make sense?

Can I make a suggestion?
I know ****** all about gaming in general and 2D gaming sounds like something I know even less about.
Having said that... I was thinking where could you get a list of requirements etc. It strikes me that maybe you could find a charitable foundation or project of some sort that could us a 2D game engine of some sort and do it for them. That seems a happy idea all around. For example there are any number of sites designed for children, some are learning and some are other charity based. (I know of a site that is for a charity that works with kids with cancer and some of the site is dedicated to the foundation itself but there is a part for the kids as well... kids who are sick like playing with other kids who are sick because they can relate)
Okay I sort of rambled there.
But my idea/thinking was that if you are going to build something essentially for free you might as well put it to a good cause. I don't know how this suggestion will work out for you. If you need to work with industry people only I think this may be tricky.. I mean everybody and their cousin is writing game software but (a) being actually professional and (b) working with 2D could make it hard. I think.
Again what do I know. Perhaps not much. Hope this helps though and good luck.
PS Please don't be too hard on the people that answered you, I know they were wrong but your question is not one that comes up that often and it has that "homework" feel to it, especially since so many questions in this forum are by lazy and stupid people. Again I know you're not one but I can empathize with them on the interpretation.
