[Programmer] I need one!

Found someone! Thanks all! TL;DR- I need API stuff for a module and want to give you stuff to do it. Hello all! I'm Doc, one of the marketplace artists. Before doing art here, I produced and published a few games of the RPG and card game flavor. Loved doing it, but it took a long time producing everything up to release. Because of that, I wanted to refocus on art, which is far easier to release. Which of course means I started working on another game. Because I like to hurt myself :) So I have a decent understanding of HTML/CSS, and bare bones JS knowledge. But I'm not a Roll20 API master, so after giving it some thought, I'm deciding to try and hand these duties off to someone who enjoys it more, and is more competent so I can focus on art, writing and concept. The Project I have a module with about 80% of the art and concept done, and about 50% of the writing. This project is fairly small in scope, more in line with a board game. I'm looking for someone to assist in the following (roughly): Combat automation:  I have macros to handle roll attack>select target>roll defend. I'm looking to finish this off with applying damage and effects. Rollable table automation: the main board has moderate use of rollable tables to change maps, and roll effects like damage. I'm looking to to either tie these to a macro, or add in field buttons to avoid having to do the right click shuffle. This needs to randomly, and preferably with weight applied, change the rollable tokens on the field. Card dealing/stat modifying automation ( This one gets a little tricky ): So this needs to basically go like this: activate rollable table>check value to restore stat points>also optionally deal cards to players.  These are bonuses I'd like to do, but can weep about later if they don't happen. Also they might sound a little convoluted: Card applied effects (I imagine this will be the tricky one): I'm thinking there is a spot on the map, or a pop up that asks if you want to play a card in your hand. In either case, this would apply the card effect. Effects would be simple in nature, like restore points, negate won roll, auto win roll or take additional action. Character sheet: While this might be within my scope to do, I'm betting someone can do it faster. This would be very simple, no rolls or anything.  Roll templates: I'd want this this to show both character and their rolls, call out a victor, and display effect/outcome. Macro tables: I would like to customize these a little more in terms of looks This is all can think of off hand, though there may be some changes. The game is conceptually finished though, so any changes would be small at this point. I would supply all art needed of course. Time frame would be relatively flexible, but as always faster is better.  The Offer So I'll keep this one simple: I've been a freelancer for a long time, which means I get the idea of paying people for their worth. but I'm new here too, so I don't have a barometer for what's good or bad in terms of sales. While I may be willing to outright pay for these features depending on the price, I think it would be safer (for me) to offer a percentage. You would be the third person in on the project, and I'm open to discussion on what those percentage points would be.  Interested? You can PM me and let me know what you want for compensation, along with any questions you may have about the project. Let me know what you have in terms of Roll20 specific API experience/sheet creation and the such. If things go smooth, we like each other/work well together, and the project does decent on the marketplace, I have a decent amount of IP and ideas to either convert or produce if you're interested and able.  Thanks for reading!

Doc said: Card dealing/stat modifying automation ( This one gets a little tricky ): So this needs to basically go like this: activate rollable table>check value to restore stat points>also optionally deal cards to players.  It sounds like an interesting project, however I have to note that the API is incapable of dealing cards. The two biggest limitations of the API with the card/deck system is that the API cannot reorder the deck or change the contents of a player's hand. Additionally, the API can only create a graphic object on the tabletop (such as a card being played) if the image URL is pointing to someone's library. Not necessarily the library of anyone in the game (so for example, you could run a script that points to an image in my library), but simply being a marketplace asset is not enough.

That's good info to know. I kind of figured there might be an issue here. Alas I have a workaround :)
