Scripts

Here are various small utilities I have written. You will need a C compiler, of which I strongly recommend GNU's C compiler from the GNU Compiler Collection. The GCC compiler is strongly recommended over other compilers. The scripts have been tested on the GNU/Linux operating system with GCC only. You may access the latest versions directly here. For older versions and revision history of any files in the /~anton/scripts/ directory, you will want to look on CVSweb.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is a lottery game that is offered in multiple states in the United States of America. The program offered here is a rather simple numbers generator that uses the number ranges that were available on a lottery card that I had bought in Ohio.

Original description (2022): This script was written since I needed 6 numbers to pick on a Mega Millions® lotto ticket, but I could not think of what numbers to use.

Password

Password is a command-line utility that generates random passwords. It was made for use at my old ITS help desk job to generate a "secure temporary password" for a user who contacted support via telephone and/or e-mail, or for if he/she did not use the self-service password reset option.
