I'm looking for a few additional programmers with some free time to kill,
and knowledge in Windows programming, to help me with a concurrent port of
a client application for an RPG I am developing. There is already a good
amount of code written using SDL on Linux, it formerly cross compiled but
various things have been added which do not mirror directly to Windows.

This isn't a pipedream. This isn't some huge project with no chance of
completion. I'm fully aware of my limits in that respect. I have several
years' experience in game design and development, but this is my first
standalone work. Starting mid-September, I will have a significant increase
in available development time, but I still need people to work with. So
far, I have one composer and two artists semi-committed to producing media
for the project. A second programmer to discuss things with, however, will
make a huge impact.

If you're interested in working on this with me, drop me a line -

Im not making an offer (since you didnt ask for a publisher), its just that
the comment made me smile. I remember in my programming days in the
military we had an "open door" policy with each other. It didnt even matter
if we wrote in the same language. The conversations would usually start
"would you mind listening to me explain this to myself?" :)

The thing is that it often worked. Midway the guy would say something like
"and then this will.. waitaminute.. no it wont.. OK never mind, I found it.
Thanks for listening". Where is Eliza when we need her?
