to do next. It is in the field of internet games. I can't make a prototype because I have NO IDEA how to make a video game. I was thinking of sending the idea to Microsoft or Nintendo.
Any suggestions?

| 1. I think what you have falls under copyright law. |

DO check with legal sources.
But it may be sufficient for you to seek copyright protection.
The fact that you can't write the software probably has no bearing on that. Eventually, a software engineer would write the program and as a result would have a copyright on that---BUT they will have given those rights to you as a result of a "Work for Hire" contract signed ahead of time. That's how that works.
There are a series of books put out by NOLO PRESS. Extremely helpful.
Stuff like this is a crap shoot. And people enjoy good success with such enterprise. Keep both in mind.
