I would think someone with a couple years of C++ experience would have a pretty simple time. That's why I posted the exact situation. I anticipated this exact reply, except much more insulting.

The advice given in the Software Development Forum is given for free (if it isn't, someone owes me a lot of money) and most of us aren't on the Daniweb staff. The link above is the "Looking To Hire" forum. Not sure if that forum'll work any better for you, but I doubt you'll get flamed there. I think it's considered fine to PM back and forth privately in that forum.

The final and assignment due date are SOON. So what I'm offering is maybe phone/chat assistance and I'll pay for the time it takes. So no I'm not asking for someone to do it.. (flamers can already get that out of your head). I'm not an older student not a 20 year old kid.

My assignment is basically a version of the animal game. recursive tree, info is pulled via txt file into the tree, if info not in tree, option is given to add question/answer and extend tree. Class file is already done, the issue mostly comes with working w/ the tree itself. Motion must be done in *2 or *2+1 for left/right (yes/no).

I figured maybe I could find a semi young experienced programmer w/ some time on their hands to step me through some of my stumbling blocks. I'd end up w/ 50 posts on this board. Don't flame, if you're not of assistance why waste your keystrokes.
