Crazy Eights Slot Machine is a simple slot machine game that I wrote. It is a basic style slot machine, with some components that I decided to add on, such as a top player report, adding commas to the numbers to make them more readable, etc. In all honesty, I started working on this, to take my mind of off other projects that I should be working on. :)

Installation is really easy. In your script/batch file, copy the dorinfo1.def file into the directory that you installed this program to. It will read the information from the dropfile.
For example:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/doors/slots
cp $1 ~/doors/slots/dorinfo1.def
./slotmachine -D $1 -N $2
rm dorinfo1.def
That's it! If you would like a dos/windows example:
c:
cd \doors\slots
copy %1 c:\doors\slots\dorinfo1.def
slotmachine -D %1 -N %2
del dorinfo1.def
Simple! :)
Also, In Mystic, or whichever BBS program you use, when you call the door, make sure you use the command of:
./slots.sh %PDORINFO1.DEF %3 //this passes the node number to the script file.
Or
slots.bat %PDORINFO1.DEF %3
The %P in Mystic will expand to the nodes path where the dropfile DORINFO1.DEF is located. The %3 passes the node number.
