Ok I know alot of people wanna play this game online as does my self. I have a project Idea that if people are seriously interested in having happen, I will spend time to make it happen.

My Idea is this:

An Online Gaming Program. Similar to the Creation Matrix and the Heroix deals but mine will actually be a program you have to Download to use and play. It would allow for up to four people play a game at one time. One person would have to host the game and the other would connect through IP or something. The Gameboard would be unique compared to others in the fact that only the player that has control of a character can move it when it is there turn. In essence a real time gameboard. To start out this version would be a simple drag and drop the peice where you want it to be. If it become a popular way of playing the game I would possible look at advancing the way the game would be played. You would be able to save your teams for quick setup during the game.

If I became convinced to work on this project I may need some help with a few things like makeing maps for the game and creating a character database.

I wouldnt be able to start on this project a couple weeks if I decide to work on it. But I would like to get some input from the heroclix community on it.

Another thing I forgot to add is that possible along with this program there may also be a online league hosted by theIGS.net a gaming league that I been helping out for the last couple years.

I would love it Mephesto just a few questions.

How easy would it be to link to other players?

Would theIGS.net be free for this?

That would be just a great product if you have the time to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes to connect to players would be easy. People would want to find a place to meet like a IRC chat room or something.

One person would decide to host the game. And give the other players his IP and all they would have to do is type it in and hit Connect.

theIGS.net league would be free along with the program. It would be illegal for me to charge anything for it.

Ok well how about this if you would like to help me with this project send me an email at mephesto@igs-leagues.com. In the email let me know what you think you would be able to help out with. Weather it would be making a map for it. Helping with some graphics. If anyone has some experience messing with Databases in C++ that would be really helpful.
