Hey Guys

I was wondering if i can get some help here.

Im trying to make a simulated slot machine kinda thing

the machine would have 3 slots

once i hit a button lets say the space bar all 3 slots start randomly going through numbers (0-9)

now for the hard part i think

i want to be able to hit a number on my keyboard and have column 1 finish rotating till it hits the number i pressed.

Then the same to column 2 and 3

Any help would be appreciated.

Your over thinking the problem.

Id do it this way.

1.Select the random number for the output ($OutNumb)
2.Select a random number of times to update the slot display ($SlotNumb)
3.Generate a random number to show in the box ($ShowNumb)
4.Show $ShowNumb in box
5. Loop back to #3 $SlotNumb of times
6.Show the final number $OutNumb in the box
7. Do for each box in slot display

Writen in psudo code because 1 you didnt specify a language, 2 Im to lazy to write the script for you, and 3 You should do it anyway.

well the final number will not be determined till i choose the number at the end by hitting a number a number 0-9

so if i hit #4

slot 1 will say #4

i appreciate the help but im not following

Oh hang on you want the number to be determined by the key input ... sorry I though you said that the number will be selected at random when the space bar is hit. The point is still the same though. You thinking back words the display and the number selection are 2 different non related things. The display is just for show.
So you could do something like this.

1.Generate a random number to show in the box ($ShowNumb)
2.Show $ShowNumb in box
3. Loop back to #1 until a key is pressed.
4. Get key input and save to variable
5. Display variable
