Hey all, I am a simple minded Lua/AMS scripter that as made a lot of useless or shot life apps that I never really push on or if they are big they become too big for me to get the right support for it.
So I thought why not offer my service to everyone tell me your ideas of what simple programs you guys would like to see with styles and ideas you like and I will pick the best or even multiple ideas to make, when the program is done the credit of the winning ideas will be pointing to that person's profile, you are free to select from FP, FB, Devianart profiles to be linked back to.
Please try state your idea kinda clear and links to image and styles you had in mind, I really like to see what you come up with, I might be a simple scripter but even if the idea is complex don't feel you should not post it I can still see if I am able to do it and if not some other programmer/scripter that might read this post and might take on your idea on tho I can't say they will credit you for the idea but we can hope.
Here are a few limitations I like to set.
#OS - Windows 2000 +
#User Level - I would like this app to work on all windows OS's from 2000 this does not mean
you have to limit the user permissions to user level only but this would beat seeing you need
to be admin on windows Vista, 7 and mostly the new version of windows when it hits the fan.
#Idea - Try make sure there are not already 3000's diff apps out there that can do the same
thing.
#Idea 2 - The idea must be free no linking in to API's that request any type of VIP or payment.
#Idea 3 - Try keep the idea open for everyone so we don't have to worry about registration or
encrypting the files from hackers.
#Icons/Images - If there are image and icons you think really going to work well make sure they
are open source or free to none profile.
#legal - I will not make any program that will edit/damage/steal/delete/move any copyright files
please make your if you are wanting a editor that the programmer them files permits this action.
The credit page will include Everyone that as had a say in that idea long as its not just a or I like that idea make that one, people will get credit for the idea, functions to that idea and submitting resources for that ideas EG, art work, Images, Icons and so on.
This program no matter what will be freeware, hosted on file hosts that everyone as access to NO clickit/clickadd hosts where you have to click 100 addware filled links before they say no you can't have the download file.
there will be a google page for it set up IDEANAME.rexzooly.co.uk what will also include the credits, change logs and supported download links, and any resource links that might help better use the program.
If there are 2 many great ideas the top 10 ideas might have to have a vote/poll one for them.
Hope to hear from you.

Note: I am dyslexic, this does not stop me from making good programs but sometimes people might fine it hard to understand a reply please just quote that part of the message and i will try my best to reword it thanks all.
This is the programming forum, inhabited by programmers. Knowing this, why would a programmer hire someone to do programming for them.
Hire in my eyes would in-tail some kind of payment, not just programmers read this sections people that might request help on a project or someone to do some programming for them read it also, I am nit sure why the first reply to my post was one that feeling that my post did not have a place here ? Unless I have read little too far in to your post that could be possible.

Edit, If you think it could be better in another section please point me in the right place.
You're not gonna get many costumers when you're a lua scripter.
[editline]20th February 2011[/editline]
If you want to get hired:
State your Age. (I'll admit I'm 13, but people usually don't hire those < 18)
State your Past Projects.
State your Cost.
State your Contact Info.
Don't have limitations on what you will do, you will never get hired that way.

Lua with the right windows wrap can be very useful and I am not looking for customers I just trying to be nice and offer my skills to people :) Lua is a very powerful scripting language, It is true some people still don't know what it is or how it might affect a out come of a project.

What if the client wants the program to be as fast as possible, closed source, and compile in to one executable?
[QUOTE=supersnail11;28174230]What if the client wants the program to be as fast as possible, closed source, and compile in to one executable?[/QUOTE]
The speed of the app would be fast one exe, this is possible and close source well I am not going to be giving the source out at all so the source is close source.
Why you do you saying client or customer? I never stated this in the first post nor did I say I wanted paying for it, the app would be hosted by and made by me the person that came up with the idea would credited for the idea, this if for people that want to see there ideas made but not really wanting to do it them selfs.

Ahhem.
"Hire in my eyes would in-tail some kind of payment".
Lua is by default open source, because you have to package the lua files with it to run the program.
Look, go somewhere else. Everyone here is a programmer. They program their own shit. You can go in to the gmod section and help out there. The bottom line is.
You're not getting paid.
The point is that everyone in this subforum is a programmer. We wouldn't be here if we didn't know how to program. Why would any of us pay someone else to do something that we could easily do by ourselves?
Try to find some freelance jobs... it might be hard to find jobs at first since almost everyone else will have a larger portfolio of work to show off and there will be people who do things very quickly and for very little money.
I really think your missng the point did my post say I am offering Lua Scripts or a program hmm I pretty sure I said program that must mean it will be packed and ready for end user use.
I don't want to get paid I have said this is why I stated I want to make a free app that does not use ANY paid service at all.
Anyway I not sure if your even reading my reply's or just having a pop but you are not submitting a idea request so I guess it does not really matter :) peace man.

I think you missed the point, I don't want to make money i just offering people a way to get a idea made i seen posts in the past for request for things been made so I thought I would be nice and offer I like making things and why not make something someone wants right?
If I was wanting to make money your reply would be useful but I am nit here to make money just to kill some spare time and be nice, is it hard to believe someone wants to be nice lol

Just...
Ughhh.
You need to do some work. Make a game, or an application.
Also, acting like a dick isn't the way to get clients IMO.
hmm.. skimmed the OP and some of the posts, looks like I horribly misread it all. So it's basically an idea collaboration project?
If you're looking for ideas, maybe try skimming the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1044832-What-are-you-working-on-v15]WAYWO[/url] thread to see what some others are up to.
Most of it is 2D/3D stuff but there are some applications in there, I look there sometimes for inspiration.

Ya I guess you could say that as when a major idea as been picked people can still have they say on functions and things like that ya :) and there will be a nice credit page, and we all misread things from time to time, god i miss spell things all the time :)
Like I said even tho the your post did not go with what I said at first I found it still to be useful post you still took your time to offer useful details what I would also agree with a building up your work is not a bed idea.

IRC Client - beaver - On Going
[url]http://beaver.rexzooly.co.uk/[/url]
(I am just saving to by a very useful plugin that will make my life easer on this project.)
[b]Note:[/b]
All of these programs above are all using lua scripting ever single one, using AMS as the UI and windows wrapper.
Mmmm.. I see an IRC client there, that's quite interesting.
With a good Lua plugin system I could see myself using it.
Best of luck with ideas by the way.
Thanks Dialku, well I not really sure how I would handle lua as past of the client I guess I would have to add some hooks in to the functions that the plugin system could work with, I seen a few clients with that kind of system so maybe I should try them out see how they work lol.
Also one note to the user that said make a game, Lua and AMS are not the best for it but I did start making a game engine
View:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=G11WTvPHWX0[/url]
The engine was very limited at the time and other projects came up what seems to be a better idea
so I kind of dropped this one but I might restart it in the future when I feel I can do it better.
Wow, those windows actually look surprisingly good.
All window-based lua things I've ever been able to find look like shit. :saddowns:

If you like Lua and want to make really nice UI's I say give AMS a look at
[url]autoplay.org[/url] - Free version / Freeware
[url]indigorose.com[/url] - Forums and full software you find me on there as [b]Sim[/b].
I really have to agree I tried other lua wrappers for windows and they all well crap indeed looks like I just installed windows 95 lol.
Using AMS as that wrapper you are open to way more options still limited in some places but you can make sme really powerful tools in Lua and then give them the UI they need in AMS.

uhhhh to help you on your big projects...why do 100% of your code yourself when you can have someone help you with some of the simpler scripts/functions that would take away from you working on the main project. Unless you have never used someone elses framework, module, plugin, extension for your language I don't follow your logic.
That being said, are you offering scripts or trying to build a complete project I'm kinda confused.
I am was offering to make peoples ideas with functions that other might also like. why would this confuse you I never said anywhere I was offering scripts, can you explain how your are confused cos I made my post clear what are people not getting ? The fact someone is kind enough to offer this or what I have been getting some really bad replies on here and I made my post clear post yours ideas and the best idea I will make simple how hard can this be really ?
I was defending you...nm
[QUOTE=OMGCarlos;28189868]I was defending you...nm[/QUOTE]
I am sorry I re-read it a few times and I was unable to get that from it but I guess we can all read things wrong sorry about that I guess I am just little on the defensive after so many negative replys.
Let me get this straight. You want people (who are programmers who could do it themselves) to tell you there great ideas so you can build up your own reputation and portfolio?
Don't say that credit will go to them. Almost no consumers read credits, they only know the person who released it (and customer support)
Where did I say I wanted to build up my reputation or portfolio, I thought I was the dyslexic one here READ what I posted, and NO your not only ones that read this section none programmer also read it and people do request things to be made I think my portfolio already shows I am able to make OK programs and my offer is off the table anyway now as A: people are just not reading the post, B: I have just started a big project and well it be unfair to any other project I do as I be spending a lot of time on that and another major project on top of that.
But I was just offering my time to make someone elses idea for onces, and depending on the program look at the size of the icons on here hmm lets think these size like icons would be able to be on the status bar.
And I always view the about and credits as 90% of the time this is where manual or help file is also, do you use all your software blind?
Anyway I really don't care anymore, thanks to the people that have replied with useful reply's but the rest of you, I think you really need to get over yourself your actions stink I hope you don't act like that to peoples faces, I feel sorry for you this is only reason I kept the post up but I give up on it now.
I would love to say more things but I am not going to.
Peace out.
What on earth are you waffling on about?

The problem isn't that people don't see the credits, its that they don't remember them.
I think everyone missed the point somewhat here
He just wants ideas as to what he should write next, essentially, but didnt phrase that very well.
[QUOTE=Icedshot;28207318]I think everyone missed the point somewhat here

Well the idea would still essentially be the posts and other members would have a say in what functions it would have and anyone with AMS the programs I posted in another post would be free to have the project files on completion no point posting them mid way.
But in short yes a I wanted to make someone else idea for one make something someone else wanted as even if that one person used it, it would of been fun to make but I still liked the idea collaboration idea where others had a say in how the program was made, I done a few projects in the past where I built it but the members of the forum said what about this, what about that, I never used the program I just released it for them and let them do what they felt fit with it.
[QUOTE=bootv2;28210638]I've got a good project for you I've dropped(to keep you busy) make a scripting language with full c++ functionality. it has to have all functions c++ has and has to be able to link the script to a dll. it has to be bindable to random projects too so it can be used by every programmer who knows the slightest bit of c++.
believe me this'll keep you busy. it was too hard for me to do but I've learned a lot from it. even if I only tried it for two weeks.[/QUOTE]
Its funny you say this, I really can't get my head around C++ its the symtex just can't get my head around it but I am working on a framework, what should make using lua scripting that little more user friendly on windows, in other words the frame, image, labels things like this to really give the end user
that native program feel from one framework, we see other scripting languages have better repore with
windows.
Scripting based languages are been used more and more these days so I think is just time before one takes over.
[QUOTE=Rocket;28211560]heh[/QUOTE]
I am now sure what this reply is meant to be saying no do I understand how someone can agree to 3 letteres, maybe you could explain what you mean I don't mind good healthy debate, but 3 letters really does not say anything.
Come on guys I came here with a nice offer and most of you have just kinda evilly just attacked my post
for no justifiable reason, you not even give me a healthy debate on why you don't understand or why you feel its a bad idea the ones that have posted negatively as not even posted withing the topic saying
I want to build up XYZ well no I don't I don't care it was a offer of kindness. I know programmers have there own views on things but I did not know this would be such a problem to just try get people involved in a idea, my post was clear I did not want to make any money from it and everyone would be
credited of there work.
I also say scripting languages will take over is that we see it used a lot these days, long as there is a a
framework for that languages the foot print becomes smaller as you only need one set of exe's and evey
script runs from that making the space needed for scriptable programs smaller.
Come on people please if you going to reply at lest give a reason why you feel its out of place, but this
is a programming post so it does have a place in the programming forum if it did not the admins would of
moved it or deleted it. And before I started making programs I used to read programing forums and I seen many people request programs to be made.
My offer was more of a way to get a few of use to work together on a idea where people that even if
it was like or change that to red and make that blue could say hey I helped on that project.
If you guys really hate this post then please click the first post and report it I sure the admins will remove it if you all dislike it.
