If there is a pre-made game out there them I can buy that instead. I just dont know where to find it.

I surprised by the high price. I figure there must be some starving programmers in india or something who would love to do a project like this.
Yep, pre-made game is the way to go on this one.

If this was your only project and you were counting on it then going custom would
be the way. If it's just some game to add some extra entertainment to your present
site then custom is only for big budget.

There is a chance that there is some simple plug-in interface where by the programmer
only needed the flash object to "talk" to the server and that would bring the cost down.
I'm just not aware of such a plug-in.

As far as a cheap person from 3rd world :
If they can do this type of programming then they probably are
smart enough to work for normal wages. I mean, they are not totaly stupid.

Why work for another coat of mud on your mud hut when you can charge a regular wage and buy
a mansion? Eventually they all figure this out.
