Author Topic: Multi-Stage Scripting Contest  (Read 20268 times)

stuff... I had a new computer put in yesterday, and there is still files yet to be transferred. Sorry I couldn't turn mine in. What sucks is I was a few lines from being done.

I sent a PM to everyone. I think I may have put a space instead of an underscore for your name. Sorry.
I got the PM without a problem.  I just did not check my email until monday (portal2 was addicting).

Next time try this.
send a round of pm's saying when the contest will start and give 2 days warning (or more). 
Then when the start time comes, send another round of PMs saying its started, and post the tasks on the forums like you did for the first time.

I don't see the actual task yet.


Round 2
You must create a system for saving and loading data. (ie. a database)
Your script must follow these guidelines:
 - You must design your own file format or use an existing database format (CSV, SQL, XML, etc)
 - It must feature loading and saving of data into files
 - There needs to be a way to access and change data
 - Automatic loading (automatic saving is optional)
 - The data needs to be easy to use

- The data needs to be organised
What do you mean by this?

What do you mean by this?
There needs to be some sort of "row" and "column" system

Neat, I love file I/O.

Binary data exchange via hexidecimal torque escape sequences time go!

There needs to be some sort of "row" and "column" system

So you want database tables with rows and columns rather than just "something to load/save data"  ?
if so - that makes a huge difference in what your asking for.

Zack, I can provide some rewards. But I would like to be in on the judging.
