Trade Wars 2002 is a RPG(Role playing Game).  It has been around for about a good 5-8 years(possibly more).
Trade Wars was programmed for one type of gaming.  Which was BBS's(Bulletin Board System).  These BBS's
have things called doors, which today we would associate with the internet as muds.  It is a little more then just
a mud though.  It had ANSI(low tech art, but color! :),  Multiple Ships which you could trade in, sell, or buy more
of then one.   It was just an all around fun game, that a lot of people like me got into back in the BBS Era :)
 

What is the purpose:

The Purpose of this project is try to revive the game.  It is also to bring to the internet community a game that
is not about blood and gore.  The game had a quest to it, which was to kill the ferengi(the enemy).  In most muds
the reason to play was to gain experience and become the most powerful(besides the immortals).  In Trade Wars
To become the most powerful in the game is by trading and gaining money.   The more money you got the more
equipment, ships, planets you could buy, or create.
 

Hey enough talk! how much is it gonna cost me!:

The truth of the matter is this.  NOTHING, and you can make the check to my name "cash" :).  All Kidding beside
now, it will not cost anyone a single penny.  The reason is, basically because for the enjoyment of the game, I
feel that it should not be charged for usage.  The other reason is so that way I dont have to pay taxes for selling
the program :)

Do you need any help???:

As of right now, I do require a few good programmers, and artists.  The programmers are needed as soon as
possible, due to the fact I lack a few things to make this program, like internet controls,  file accessing
controlling(needed for multiuser playing), and I also need programmers who can program into the application
movies, or splashscreens(basically animations).

Here is the requirements:
-Visual Basic programmer in 4.0, 5.0
-Must have extensive knowledge in Internet Controls or File Accessing
-Sample program

The reason I do not do this project in Visual C++ is because I am far from any knowledge in that language.
But if there is a Visual C++ programmer out there who knows what they are doing, who can help make dll's
and other useful stuff to help this project on its way  it would be helpful.
