The point is to have a game thread, where one person initiates the thread making a choice: rock, paper, scissors. Then a person replies to the post, making their choice of : r, p, s. The reslts are determined and the second player makes another pick, which sets up the game for the third person.
The scripts as it stands works, but isn't suited for UBB. I'm VERY new to Perl, as you can probably tell by my attempt to code it.
Ideally the "hack" would allow the game to progress, and would possibly provide stats on the people who participated in the thread.
Personally, I think the game threads can be a lot of fun. Regardless, it's been a useful exercise for someone trying to gain a working knowledge of Perl, but needs some coaxing from a more seasoned programmer familiar with html, cgi and ubb.
Those of you who have had kind words, thanks! It's been a fun challenge, and its a good feeling to get something to actually work, then rip it apart and improve it again
