   Hello all,

   I'm a beginner iPhone/iPad developer from Finland. Currently I'm planning a pretty nice - at least in my opinion - 2D game in collaboration with a graphic designer and a musician. However, I've come to notice that as I'm not very experienced programmer, I'd probably need to handle the programming duties for someone more capable.

   Your task would be to program game logic and menus for the game - and make the music play in the background. The game could use cocos2d and Box2D or Chipmunk physics engine.

   Here's our collective's homepage - although, it's not very information rich currently: http://www.visionthingsoftware.net.

   Payment could be a straight payment or some percentage from the profits. I'd be able to pay something between 200-400$, but I must emphasize that the game should be quite easy to write for someone who's used to work with cocos2d & Box2D or Chipmunk.

   Please give me a message if you are interested: herrvlad@gmail.com.

   ShempLock, I suppose you must be quite experienced indeed if your salary is something like 100$ per hour. ;)

   $100 an hour is actually cheap.

   For those curious, if you make $100/hr for 262 days a year (average) on an 8hr day you'd be making:

   $209,600!

    Private consulters do often make amounts close to the 100$ per hour mark. It sounds like a lot but it isn't as you usually just get to do something for 2-3 hours and once thats over you again earn 0$ per hour, so the $209,600 figure isn't realistic at all; you charge more to compensate for the hours you will be "jobless". You'll also have to pay taxes on that yourself, as such the actual amount that ends up on your bank account will be a lot lower than that.

    @pabloruiz55 If you find anyone offering I'll tag-team it with you and we can split it down the middle! :)

    Actually it seems $70/hr for someone with "high" experience, specifically in the mobile market seems to be average; which is what I would have guessed. (Just researching a bit around the web).

    [Edit] @herrvlad I actually think your offer is pretty reasonable given its a simple straightforward game.

    Ok, but one must remember that I'm searching for a programmer I can afford. There's no point commenting that the sum I'm offering is so low; if the sum is too low, please move to the next thread or something. :-)

    Cheers, mobilebros!

    Well, thank you all for your messages! I've obtained quite a few offers and been already talking about a deal with a couple of very promising programmers.

    I agree with @herrvlad.
    @ShempLock, if this offer is not interesting for you, just skip the thread.
