Pay == nothing but blood, sweat and tears and a sense of accomplishment when it is all done! You will get full credit in the readme.txt ;>) Project - to bring the latest Crafty SE source (with much thanks to Bob Hyatt) to the pocket PC highly optimized in a nice GUI - free of bugs. The final product will be FREE to all. What I offer - Crafty SE Source and CD with Microsoft's latest PPC 2003 development tools. It is availaable for free directly from MSFT, but it is about 500MB and my CD may make things a little easier for you to install. The goal to have all SE personalities, time controls and most Crafty.rc options to be selectable from the GUI. If you are successful and provide me with a means to update Pocket Crafty source easily so I can provide free updates with each Crafty version released - there is a $200 bonus at the end. But it must pass my bug free test - no crashes and hangups and it mirrors big "Crafty SE". The bug free test will be conducted by all beta users and if 4/5 of the beta testers say it is a go - you pass the test and get $200. I'm not looking for internet play -- just for a user to play chess, analyse positions, read pgn files (basic - variations not neccesary) and save pgn files. There is a version of Pocket Crafty that is out there now- but it is very buggy and needs help. I can get this version to work and it shows great promise - an optimized Crafty may be stronger than Chess Genius on a PPC with stength perhaps over 2500. That source is available. Email me privately with your credentials if interested, I will entertain joint collaborators if all sides agree to spread the workload. The $200 bonus would have to be split in that scenario.
