Browser Based Mafia Game

#1 I believe a lot of spacewar code is available out in the wild for PHP and MySQL. It could be adapted since the major refactoring is simply renaming the units and reworking the balance of the games.

If you paid $10 an hour for a 40 hour work week for a month, it would be $1600. By then, with an experienced developer, you could have a number of the core features, and depending upon their experience, could probably have a lot of the front-end blog/event posting/etc.

Were you thinking of using an existing platform such as the Facebook or MySpace API's or build it from the ground up? Or using a CMS package to manage much of the administrivia work?

#2 I wanted it to use PHP and MySQL technology. But at the price you are saying it would be I can't do that.

#3 10$ an hour is real cheap most PHP guys i know are at least 35 an hour

#4 I realize it is cheap but I just don't have that kind of cash to spend. I am not really looking at getting a script made to make money off the game. I am looking at it to use for fun. So that price is just way to much for me to spend.

#5 You could invest $20 in a used PHP and MySQL book or use online tutorials for free.

EDIT:
@ Timothy
Yeah. Most web programmers I know that are worth their salt are making quite a bit of cash for being very, very good at what they do. I was being extremely generous.

#6 Well, like I said thanks for such a great offer but I just can't put that kind of cash into it. But I am willing to try to do some stuff myself. So can you recommend some books to get and read that might help me. I have no prior knowledge in this subject area so I need to start from the ground up.

#7 Have you any design/art skills? Perphaps we can do it together? Drop me a line if this is could be something for you.
