[release] Contest Co-ordinate Generator by markee on 05-27-2007 at 05:55 AM
For the people who want to generate random coordinates to check, here is a script to help you. You can access the window through either the command "/coord" or through the menu and you will be given a list of 10 coordinates. If you press "Generate" then you will get 10 more, however you will never see those ones again (unless you delete the text file it makes....). I do realise there is not much use to this script but it does save you from clicking the same one twice and also gets you to still click but its not like you ave to think of where to click.
Just because the locations of the prizes are made by randomness does not mean that the randomness of this script will match. If anyone wins using the coordinates generated by this script can you please tell me, i would love to hear it.
Thanks again to NanaFreak for making the windows too.

So when people do /coord, the script generates a click at a random location?
That is not allowed as per the rules of the game. You need to click in a "human way"

No, it just gives you random coordinates for the human to manually click

Well you wouldn't be able to click all the pixels in one week anyway, it's physically impossible given the time delay between clicks.

* markee stops with his ludicrous ideas
RE: [release] Contest Co-ordinate Generator by Volv on 05-27-2007 at 08:52 AM
You would need at least 8 computers to finish within the week.

Well with one or two you'd only finish 12 to 25% of the map, so there's no real guarantee you would get any =/
