Hello,
I'm a computer science major from Canada and I'd really like to work on this project. I used to be a contributor on a PHP Ogame clone back in the days and I really enjoyed working on algorithms. I usually charge a lot more than 10NZD per hour, but this project seems like it would be very fun for me!
Anyways, if you want a proper commonwealth educated programmer to work on your project, let me know!
And before choosing me, I need the source of the combat engine to produce a calculator or at least an easy way to reverse engineer it.
