Flash Game Development Project

I'm very interested in developing an online game that is very much like this: [login to view URL] This TrendMicro game is basically a commercial for a product, but I would like for the game I have developed for my company to be used as a teaching/testing tool. One that requires the player to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of command-line computer security tools such as packet-sniffers, firewalls, and IDSs. I would like a very visually appealing game, with good music. The basic game idea should be similar to the link above. The player will be given a network that he will need to protect from various security threats. The score will be determined by how well the player recognizes (via sniffer/IDS), and mitigates (via Firewall rules/server hardening) the attacks. The game will be required to communicate with my PHP/MySQL website, and track user scores, levels attempted, and number of times played for my website members. Command-line syntax for the IDS, the firewalls, and sample log data for each of the attacks and attack variations will be provided to the developer. It will be the developer’s job to create the game interface with connectivity to the MySQL DB, and accompanying game music. Status Reports & Documentation ALL development will be done in accordance with LSO documentation requirements (reference: [login to view URL] file). Status reports WILL be emailed to Joe McCray (joe@[login to view URL]) on every Tuesday and Friday along with ALL source code and documentation in the required format as stated in the documentation requirements file. ## 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.
