So I'm coding MUDs again. Isn't that exciting?
No? I didn't think so...

How's everyone been? Ten years doesn't seem like a long time, but it really is. How has everyone else faired?

Samson, we really ought to catch up some!

Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you too!

I'm spending my Sunday morning trying to get the hang of coding again. It's not that I forgot the basic syntax of C++, but I forgot how unforgiving MUD code can be...

Ah well.

I'm spending it trying to get a lottery system coded... but I am not that good at coding yet so having a hard time.

Welcome back long time no see. Keep working at it dbna and youll get there

Welcome back to the fold.

We had a few new bugs posted recently and now this. Things are getting more lively around here.

Again, good to have ya back.

I'm trying... its just figuring out how to have these tickets save.... I am thinking of having them save in a .dat file, but until sure how to save the time they were purchased.

If I recall, you can use now time() to grab the current system time in UNIX format.

See: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/time/

I'd use time_t and current_time for saving the time.
