====== Cost to make Splashy ======

The following is an estimation as to how much it would cost to write Splashy from scratch using normal proprietary development methods. This was generated using David A. Wheeler's '[[http://www.dwheeler.com/sloccount/|SLOCCount]]'.

<code>
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC)                = 7,011
Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 1.55 (18.55)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05))
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months)                         = 0.63 (7.58)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38))
Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule)  = 2.45
Total Estimated Cost to Develop                           = $ 208,790
