FPS style Killing blow log idea

Calling all coders

I had an idea to create a combat log addon with killing blow announces sort of like fps games use.
Reference: http://www.morbandit.bandit.co.nz/sshots/lol_8kills.jpg (Look top right corner)

I don't know how to code most of this myself. I can try and start, but I need someone to help me finish it.

This would be a frame where everything was configured through the LUA (for lightweight purposes) and maybe a mouse over on each line to see the last 3-5 hits in a tooltip, and possibly shift click to report to raid/party chat.

This would look really cool in a battleground, or a raid environment.

I created an image to show 2 different styles, one would be faction/difficulty colored and one would be class colored, an option decided by a Boolean by the user.



Settings that needs to be adjustable:
Number of lines to show at one time: 1-5
Class colored: True/false
Show Icon: True/False
Mouse over tooltip: Show 1-5 last hits and how much they hit for
Toggle damage display: (H) hordeplayer [icon](1337) (A) allianceplayer
Play sound if player has killing blow: True/False
Show image if player has killing blow: True/False
Play sound if 3/10 or 5/25 players in your raid has died (Not in BG's): True/False
Show (H) or (A): True/False
SetFont
SetFontSize
SetIconSize
SetIconOffset
SetPoint
ChatJustify: Right/Left/Center

This is all that I can come up with atm. Most of these features wouldn't take that long to create if you know what you're doing (I wish I was)

Any takers?

I'll do it. PM me if you are interested. My "portfolio": http://www.wowinterface.com/list.php?skinnerid=207710

I already have a codebase for this thanks to http://www.wowinterface.com/download...o.php?id=15077. Changing the events shouldn't be that hard.
