help with giveaway script please

Post by Bryan »

Hiya! :D

I've been working on a program for the monthly knife giveaways in hopes to make things a bit more efficient.

Before we start using it, I was hoping some of us could try it out to make sure it makes sense or even works.. ::shrug::

Pretend This is a giveaway for an extremely rare Sandbar Stag Bowie knife...

TGIF BTW! ::tu::

Hi Bryan.

It looks good to me.

Leaving the leading zeroes off makes it cleaner but might confuse the uninitiated just a tad. But I am sure we can all adjust.

Thanks for all you are doing for the knife collector.

BTW.

I noticed that Bulldog chose a number while I had it on my screen. What would have happened if we had both chosen the same number? First in gets it? What message would have been returned?

Uh oh ::doh:: Good question. I did not think of that scenario for some reason. If you chose same number, it would give you both that number. I'll fix it to be first in gets it and then come back with an error to the subsequent picks saying the # was just taken.

Thanks for pointing this out.
