Title: Really Big Sky - Free Game Giveaway

I have a steam key for this sitting around, I don't know if it works or not.

Post here if you want to enter the giveaway.  I will pick a random name to give the key to using this script; (THE CODE BELOW IS JUST PROOF OF RANDOMNESS)
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30270697/Archives/namepicker.py
## Script by Artex Drake
## http://www.icerealm.org/

from random import randint

FILENAME = "names.txt"

namelist = []
for line in open(FILENAME, "r").read().split("\n"):
line_clean = line.strip()
if line_clean != "":
  namelist += [line_clean]


# Analysis
nameCount = len(namelist)
numWinner = randint(0, nameCount - 1)

winner = namelist[numWinner]


# Display
print "Selected name %d/%d: %s" % (numWinner + 1, nameCount, winner)
print

print "Press ENTER when done"
raw_input()


Name will be chosen March 31st.  I may not reply or notice the topic until then, I've set a link to the topic on my calendar to alert me on that day.  If a moderator would like to pin this until then, that'd be great.




A minimum of 10 names must be below before I'll do the game giveaway.
Entered names:
jzero
TheGentlmen
Daman453
Ouan <- Winner
Skissor
Mattzz
keylocke
Bulb

For those of us who have no clue how coding works. How do I use that to enter my name?

I think it's more a proof that shows others that it's "random" and not picked out cause he likes them. :P

He puts the names of those who are interested (I'm not, please don't sign me up!) and puts their names into a text file, which the script reads from and randomly picks a line, Presumably.

You don't enter your own name, you just tell me here that you want the game and I will later put your names in a list to run that code.  It's proof that it is random.

Hmm seems like an interesting game, why did you buy it twice?

Skissor, are you entering?
I didn't buy it twice. I obtained a key ages ago. I didn't like the looks of the game that much so I never used the key.

Congrats Ouan,
You will now cured of that epilepsy that you, apparently, lack.
Have fun and keep the ambulance on call!

Vas:
Python 2.7, really?
I still don't understand how people can continue to support the community being fractured by recommending 2.7 over 3.x.
(Oh well, at least it isn't a certain MCU community...)

I just haven't bothered to update.  I kinda hate python a bit.  I want to install it to Program Files, but it doesn't work in there.  So you're required to install it to your C:\ and not in a Program Files directory.  I rather people use 3.x too, but some refuse and thus sometimes I get scripts that don't work in 3.x

Better just say I was joking.
I don't really mind who uses what version, just that they make sure it works in both versions.
I am going off topic so I won't say anymore.
Have a good day (or rather night...)!

Thanks for the key! I had to pop off-line to work on papers at the tail of my last semester and I was pleasantly surprised by the results when I returned! Here's to my new medical condition!
