Mostly Javascript. I did Java in high school. It's one of the reasons why I like functional programming. Anything to escape object oriented hell that Java still gives me PTSD over.

Do you have any idea how to launch this server: https://github.com/runejs/server

It's a runescape private server written in javascript

Yeah. It looks like it has good documentation and is launching a pretty normal way.

I'd be willing to pay you if you helped me launch it on my pc

Yeah. Are you coming to the movie night? It would be pretty easy to hit me up there. Or if you want to give me a figure I could do that.

How much do you want?

[-]buyaka0(+0|0)

I don't know how much programmers charge for their time. Is 20 reasonable or is that too low? I'm not sure what a reasonable price for this would be but I doubt it would take longer than 10 minutes. I just need the server to run and the source code and instructions to run it are already there.

That's the thing. It has a high chance of taking very little time, but a decent chance of taking longer if there's some aweful dependency issue. Programmers charge based on the most time they think something could take. If somehow I've misread it and it's install hell 3 hours. Then programmers have kind of a minimum they even consider. Plumbers and electricians are the same way.

I'd say because there is a good chance it's short I'll low ball myself on the top estimate and say $60. If it was a plumber and you had a five minute job they would charge $100 minimum.

Crypto would be my top preference but we could work something out if you don't have that.

That sounds fair. Maybe take a look at it first and see if it's something that looks fast. I'm pretty sure it's pretty straightforward and if you want you could just tell me how to do it. The main issue is that I have no clue where to start. But 60 is reasonable.

I guess the last question I have is what’s the target system? Do you have a VPS or do you want to run it on your desktop? Do you want me to figure it out a server for you?

Billing based on the top estimate of time means there’s time to do that kind of stuff too. So just let me know.

I’m open to doing a brave meeting if you think that will help us communicate faster. If so just shoot me a time.

I also have a private live chat I built here we could move to.

I just want to run it on my laptop. I don't need to set up the server or anything right now. I just want an offline version of runescape on my computer that I can mess with. Live chat works for me.
