I may post some code this weekend.

No doubt dozens of monks are pencilling in free code reviews for you on the weekend. Thanks for the heads up. We live for this sort of stuff ;-)

As a hint, have a look at Tutorials and the how to ask a question stuff. SuperSearch for your topics here and you will probably find more than half decent examples that you can R&D. Finally use strict and warnings and Modules unless specifically banned.

PS Don't expect people to give serious consideration to over a screenful or two of code. As the open source mantra goes, release early, release often so post something before you have 200+ lines of ..... ah ..... cruft is probably a good word.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
