[fearme1]

I need help scripting a lottery ticket.

I want a Simple lottery ticket that looks like this

I want there to be 32 prizes, but only 31 things to scratch.
Which will result in the Prize being the one that is not scratched.

I need a start. Im new to this and i need a place to start. Thank you.

I came accross a lottery one a few years ago but you cant scractch the ticket. you may need to do some in flash or java aswell? but we could pull some things off other lottery scripts so some of the work is done for us with proper permission of course

I dont want to scratch it just a click will do..But it sounds good

I can help you if you want it in flash, I just finished a flash class at my college (got an A)

But what's in it for me? What skills do you have that i might be able to use?

 

[fearme1]

Really nothing, Im just trying to get this, Im trying to learn coding myself, but i'm taking a class next year that can help me, but for now i have nothing.

What i would do is write a "image swap" script in JavaScript, then call it every time someone clicks the image. Example: before button is clicked show covered picture, after button is clicked show prize or fail message. This idea would work and would be quite easy.

Well if you're trying to learn, ill just give you a few hints.

1. you should use a multi-dimensional array (using two for loops) to handle the image placement and the prize placement

2. generate random numbers and use those to determine the hidden prizes

3. draw out the layout you want first, then write everything you want the program to do in writing, then convert it to code.

I'd suggest starting with just making a simple table with two rows and experiment with JS for the image swapping.

I would make it everything in flash, as suggested. That way you can make some fancy animations, in addition to avoiding the whole thing about combining javascript, php, html...

Iceman's way would definetly work, although it would require more work with creating the images, and it would be harder to edit it later. With flash that would be a breeze.

I take it you know flash well? :
I don't get flash tbh but imo that'd work too.
