Simulated Election

So I wrote a program in Java that simulates an election. Sadly, it only does two politicians at a time.

Anyway, would anybody happen to know the political compass of any of the Presidential candidates? I want to run them against each other and see the results.

Sample:
Hitler v Stalin
1st election: 11 8
2nd election: 10 9
3rd election: 11 8

EDIT: We can run members against each other too... If you don't know your coordinates, take the test here

But that's too easy to program:

public int erection(int penisLength){
return penisLength * 5;
}

:lol: :lol:

Why do we want to simulate that? Wouldn't a real one be better?

I don't.

To be honest, the American election is the most exciting I've seen in my lifetime. I sit down every evening with some food and listen to what's happened. :P

Seriously... nobody has the political compass of anybody?

And we are having a real election... nationwide... :lol:

I'm up for two candidates from CC taking the test and giving me their compasses, and then seeing who wins though. But they have to be people who are into politics.

Actually, you just enter a name and its coordinates. Or was that a joke I didn't understand?

Enter name of first candidate: got tonkaed

Enter name of second candidate: jecko7

Enter social standing of first candidate(on a scale of -10 to 1)-8

Enter economic standing of first candidate(on a scale of -10 to 10)-6

Enter social standing of second candidate(on a scale of -10 to 10)0

Enter economic standing of second candidate(on a scale of -10 to 10)6
got tonkaed (-6.0, -8.0): 7 votes
jecko7 (6.0, 0.0): 11 votes


I had to round because it only accepts integers as input at the moment...

PS: Predictable outcome; the moderates always win :wink:

At least it wasn't a landslide. Also, running it again gave you one more vote, if that's any consolation.
