I need a kickass c++ coder for a gamedev project...
The coder need to be able to develope a updater/update creater entirly in c++ without use of .net.
you will be expected to use third party lgpl libs to speed up productivity.
Tools and libs to be used: MSVC2005, Boost libs (compression, fingerprinting), TinyXML, Libcurl for tcp/ip communication.
Gui for tools must only use third party libs, if lgpl and relative small i nsize. Users of MFC or mxwindows are prefered.
There is abit of complexity on in task in how we want update, but broken down its trivial work and will be explained.
example of one of such:
- goto masterbrowser (uses libcurl)
- download master browselist (usiing libcurl)
- lookup updatesite in masterbrowselist (using tinyxml)
- get updatelist (libcurl)
- check files according to updatelist (using boost libs)
- download file (using libcurl)
- uncompress (using boost lib)
So its basicly just usage of the state libs.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

Hi everyone,
several asked what I meant by complexity. So here it is: i meant logic for handling update data/config file.
i did NOT mean advanced features like diff patching and so on, but mearly update by fingerprints.
If anything advanced is added (which it isnt), we throw in lua as script language, so nothing to this task but putting the pieces together and managing abit of update logic (goto server, ask for patch location, goto location, get info, check file info, trigger download etc etc).
## Platform
msvc project
msvc2005 c++ source
all lgpl libs used
must compile and run as delivered !! (i will check this).
