Alright... time to write the script that calculates the Sunday raffle winners!

...will try to break it down slowly in the thread 🧵

First of all... to view the raffle thread and all the entries I'm using @supercast because @warpcast hides some of the comments.

Then I inspect the DOM to find the list of entries and check that it matches the reply count (at the moment 508)

Getting a random entry is easy with the random node select script we've used before, but this time we need to add some extra entries for user who gave tips

Now the cast HTML structure is a bit funky on Supercast so to get the winner name we have to use a querySelector "a a + a a" and build the entry mapping with inital entries of 1 (the free entry)

To calculate the tips we need to find the cast message and we need to use another querySelector

To find the tip amount and calculate tip entries we can use a regular expression to search through the message.

Then we take the first matching group, divide by 100 and return it with a maximum of then and rounding the value down.

Next we take all of the entries and create one long ass array with one handle per entry

Next we need to pick the winner handles from the array. First, for good measure, we randomize the array. Then pick 8 winners and return the winners object 🎉

Now this test run gives us 968 entries to choose from. But these are not the final winners.

The raffle will be held in two hours!

If you read all the way here and see your handle 👇 drop a comment and I'll give you an extra tip 😉
