Yeah, Monica is definitely in there. She was one of the first added. No one from Frasier or Seinfeld are in it because I have never watched those shows and I didn't feel I should add their characters without knowing anything about them.Originally Posted by bludstayne
I am now feverishly contemplating ways to rewrite the game and to incorporate network play (but via the program not your internet browser)... Any thoughts?
That's a very cool program. It sure guessed my scooby doo but it missed eddy from ed edd and eddy for bart simpson. All in all, if you had a big database, I'm sure it'd be a cool program. Do you just keep eliminating choices until u get only one left? How long did it take you to make it?
Thanks a lot. Yeah, the big database thing would make it exponentially better, but of course the problem is it would need contributions from lots of different people. Actually since I posted this I have been working on a new version of the game. This one is played over the internet, and each client connects to a central server with a master database and requests each question as the game is played, then if they win and need to add a character it will go into this central DB. It is ready to start running publicly, but I don't have a dedicated server I can run the damned thing on (this is the problem I have with all the network programs I write, unfortunately). I have no static IP and even if I did my significant other wouldn't permit me to leave my PC running 24/7, so until I can find a solution (like a web hosting company that allows you to run EXEs on a shared server [highly unlikely], or a friendly person that can help me out) I'm just ast out.
The version you played took me a little bit of work to do because it took me a few tries to figure out the best way to do it (with a binary tree), then after that it went smoothly. Knowing it is a binary tree, you can sort of figure how it works. It doesn't do as you suggested. Rather, it follows a path down the tree based on each choice you make (left or right) until there are no more questions and only a character left.
