Microsoft Inkball is an excellent game that is included in Windows Vista Premium, Business (needs to be activated through Control Panel), and Ultimate. It was also included in XP Pro versions with tablet support. The vista version can be played with a mouse (non-tablet pc's) or pen (tablet pc's). Neither version works with the regular version of xp.
The attachment contains a bitmap file with the identical graphics that are used in the game as well as some html files with the scoring details. I'd like a clone that looks identical and plays as close as possible to the original. All the levels in the original should be present in the clone. You can access the different levels based on the difficulty level selected. I'm looking for someone who is confident that they can match the ball speed, physics, and ball tendencies of the original.
The game can be coded in C++, C#, Visual Basic, or Delphi.
