hello, me and my class are hosting a lan party and i had this idea for a prize giveaway.

 

a have a list of all the participants on the bigscreen and every few seconds one name get's removed from the list until there is 1 name left on the monitor, that has won.

 

does anybody know of anything like this?

Leave the text as default because a different color black or gray fucks with dark theme users.

Think it might be something buggy with copy pasting text on LTT

Are you hoping for something that already exists or looking for pointers on how something can be made?

Both, actually

could you make an array put everyone's name in it have a randomizer pick a name then make that part in the array empty then output the array everytime you hit enter or do a countdown?

lol with my limited pascal abilities i have no idea how other languages work

 

hope it helps anyways =D

I did a simple version of what you suggested in Python:

participants = ["guy", "person", "otherPerson", "myDog"] #list of entriesfrom random import randrangeprint("The participants are: ")for i in participants:    print(i)print("")for x in range(len(participants)-1):    loser = randrange(0, len(participants), 1)    participants.remove(participants[loser])print("The winner is", participants[0])input() #Keeps window open, just hit Enter to close

@Fredrikmikael There are no fancy graphics, but it generates a random number, deletes the entry at that index in the list of names, and prints the winner once that person is the only one left. Just change the names in the "participants" list and you're good to go.

Now all we need is someone to make it into a graphical interface

When is LAN party lol, I might Code this up if I have the time. I have some midterms coming up but I've always taken an interest in making LAN party software.

I can try to make something with Tkinter, but school just started again so I don't have much time.

school JUST started? or was that like 1/2 term

btw u don't have to do it we could probably ask someone to do it for Fred

yeah even if you could do it for fred and post the code everyone can use it =D

I was on February break last week

I'll probably try it just to teach myself more about using Tkinter, and if I get something good I'll post it.

@Fredrikmikael 

I made a GUI using Tkinter and Python. I can't attach the file to this post (probably because it is a script file), so if you want it, either PM me or copy+paste the code below into notepad and Save As a ".py" file.

Note: The program supports adding and removing participants from the list, but if you want a different default list than the placeholders I put in, just edit the names.

 

To everyone interested, here is my code:

#Coded by "CornOnJacob" in Python 3.3from random import randrangeimport tkinterparticipants = ["guy", "person", "otherPerson", "myDog"] #list of entriesclass App:    def __init__(self, master):        frame = tkinter.Frame(master)        frame.rowconfigure(1, pad=3) #pads 2nd row by 3 pixels        frame.rowconfigure(2, weight=2) #gives row #2 2/3 weight for vertical window expansion        frame.rowconfigure(3, weight=1) #gives row #3 1/3 weight for vertical window expansion        frame.columnconfigure(1, weight=1) #gives row #3 100% weight for horizontal window expansion        frame.pack(fill="both", expand=1)        tkinter.Button(frame, text="Add new contestant: ", command=self.add_contestant).grid(row=0)        tkinter.Label(frame, text="The participants are:").grid(row=1, sticky="S")        #Listbox of entries        self.contestant_listbox = tkinter.Listbox(frame, height=len(participants))        self.contestant_listbox.grid(row=2, rowspan=2, sticky="NS")        for entry in participants:            self.contestant_listbox.insert("end", entry)        #Entry field for new contestant        self.new_contestant = tkinter.Entry(frame)        self.new_contestant.grid(row=0,column=1, sticky="EW")        #Button to delete a contestant        button = tkinter.Button(frame, text="Remove a contestant", command=self.delete_contestant)        button.grid(row=4, sticky="S")        #Button to choose a winner & code to display winner (cf. def win())        button = tkinter.Button(frame, text="THE WIN BUTTON", command=self.win)        button.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky="N")                self.winner = tkinter.StringVar()        tkinter.Label(frame, textvariable=self.winner).grid(row=2,column=1,sticky="S")    def add_contestant(self): #Adds new entry to list and updates listbox to reflect that        x = self.new_contestant.get()        participants.append(x)        self.contestant_listbox.delete(0,"end")        for entry in participants:            self.contestant_listbox.insert("end", entry)        self.contestant_listbox.configure(height=len(participants))    def delete_contestant(self): #Deletes the listbox selection from list and updates listbox        items = self.contestant_listbox.curselection() #Returns tuple; must be converted to int        for i in items:            int_item = int(i)            del participants[int_item]        self.contestant_listbox.delete(0,"end")        for entry in participants:            self.contestant_listbox.insert("end", entry)    def win(self): #Randomly picks a winner        win_var = randrange(0, len(participants), 1)        self.winner.set(participants[win_var])window = tkinter.Tk()window.wm_title('Contest Winner')app = App(window)tkinter.mainloop() 

This was a really fun project and I learned a lot about using Tkinter (and let me tell you, the documentation is subpar). Thanks and enjoy

Here is what I have going on so far, however i did not make a GUI, rather a text based GUI.

 

The code is still very INCOMPLETE. Also it is kinda hard coded which I dont like but I'll investigate other methods at a later date.
