I'm looking to hire someone to put a game-like GUI on my Max project (

), using Jitter and/or OpenGL or whatever method can execute on the GPU and be lightweight enough so as to not interfere with the processing I'm doing on the audio and control-rate threads.

This GUI would need to convey certain information to the user, but within those constraints I'd like to find someone who wants to put their own artistic, creative spin on the visuals.

My project is destined to be a rhythm game not unlike Guitar Hero, except that you write the music you're playing to as you go. Like Guitar Hero, I would need "targets" of some kind to appear and disappear on the screen, denoting moments in the future to aim for when playing a note. Unlike Guitar Hero, I'm thinking I wouldn't want the targets to move down a fretboard until they reach the moment of action, or necessarily move it all, but rather fade in or otherwise somehow morph over the appropriate interval, at which point they would need to visually differentiate somehow based on whether the user did indeed hit a note at that moment or didn't. Perhaps a hit could cause the target to explode or flash, while just fizzling out on a miss.

Other than that, I would need the targets to vary by color or in some other way based on which track (drum track, synth track, etc.) they correspond to. In the future I may also want them to vary in another way (shape? or maybe just a text label?) based on what note (A, A#, B, etc.) they correspond to, so that would be another consideration.

Ideally I would want a numeric score to pop up from the target in question every time the user hits a note at the right time, but it's my understanding that OpenGL cannot render text, so this would be something we could discuss. I would also need a permanent scoreboard displaying a few metrics (in text) off to the side somewhere on the patch you'd create.

When the user scores by hitting a correct note, I may also want a line or some other connection to appear between the target they successfully hit and the location of past targets if they form a rhythmic succession.

So that's a rough outline of my ideas. If you're interested please get a hold of me and we can discuss more of the details and what a fair price would be. Again, you would only be responsible for the visuals; all of the calculations concerning what constitutes a "rhythmic succession", the intervals involved, etc. would be done for you and the numbers provided to you from the main patch. You would need only create a new, more-or-less standalone patch to communicate with it. Thanks!
