LAN Application Request.

Hey Guys / Girls,

Firstly I do appologise for posting this in the wrong place if it is. But any ways here we go.

I somehow think that this is seriously using AutoIT for the wrong reasons But my programming skills are Skitish at best.
So I'm hoping that people can help me out and Maybe suggest other languages with some how to guides if need be

What I want to Create is a LAN Party managment tool.
I know there are a few online that allow for HTML access etc etc. but those are more general managment (ALP is one such tool)

What I want is more of a ADMIN managment tool.
What I would like to add to it is as follows:

Seating Managment:
This would allow you to Set firstly GRID Size (size of your Venue Width and Length)
Grid Customization (Should your venue have a ARB shape (Not squared etc..) then you can place Dead markers(none working are points) to shape it better.
Table layout - this means you would be able to say this is a table and have a few options on it. (seats 2, Admin, Servers, Hub, seats 1 etc etc) and each having a different color or Graphic.
Occupied and open markers.

Registration:
Database that would be updated and used to register players - Details such as (name, surname, nick, cell, email, etc) this would also need to be a database that can be backed up to some format that can be imported again.
(If this could use something like Mysql or something that would prob be best im thinking.)

Comp managment:
Basic managment - Create a comp
specify prizes etc for each placement (No of prizes given to how many placments should be user defined)
Player registration (Nicks should be used)




Anyways thats the basics im looking to do. And like I say im gonna need a ton of help because I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do some of these.
So heres hoping that 1 its doable and 2 peeps are feeling like giving a hand

Or at the very least someone can suggest a better app to do this with

Cheers and thanks Guys / Girls

Sounds like a rather large project. Maybe C# would be suited to this.

What your asking for could be implimented in autoit, but its going to be a huge project.
I recommend studying the language a bit more, see if you can figure this one out.

I would gladly help you, but I would have no way to practice. My network consists of 1 machine, mine lol

i can also help as needed. if you feel like starting the app and having questions as you go, if i can help i will.

Thanks Guy for the suggestions and Assist offers. Ill have a look at doing it in C#, Just means I gotta learn it now hahaha.

Ill be updating peeps, Just encase someone wants it. Ill make it rather general too so can be used for more than just a LAN.
I Just got my hands on Visual FOXPro 9 and someone said it might work too so studing up on that too at the moment.

If anyone has suggestions or anything Please feel free to mail me directly too Digi@webafrica.org.za
[And if anyone has documentation on C# and Visual FOXPro 9 ]
