So I have a game we play in our bowling league called strike challenge. basically you buy tickets for $2 a piece as many as you want. we then draw a ticket out of a bucket and if that person strikes they get the pot. if they miss we draw another name but now that first name has one less ticket in the bucket.
I am working on making a digital version for this. so the entry names and number of entries are stored in DBStrike, so they can be displayed alphabetically. When pick winner is selected it creates a list that puts each name on the list as many times as entries they have(DBWinners). I am doing it this way to avoid having to program probabilities and all that since I'm very new to programing. The issue I am having is that what i set up works but does not remove the selected winner from the list.
example:
john has 4 entries
joe has 2 entries
jim has 5 entries
this creates a list with [jim, jim, jim, jim, jim, joe, joe, john, john, john, john] in DBWinners
then selects randomly one of the names - jim
it should then have one less jim in the list, but that's where it breaks. It still shows me that jim has 5 entries even after being picked
