WikiGamer
A python script to perform wiki-racing in the English Wikipedia.

There are two variations of the script:

• wg.py, which is the single-threaded and very slow version and
• wg-parallel.py, which is the multiple-threaded version which works a lot faster As of now they have different output and wg.py is expected to have a lot more bugs, if there are any.

The script tries to cheat and checks the Main_Page also.;)

To run both of the scripts you must provide two proper names of articles:

python wg[-parallel].py "Rifle" "Philosophy"

P.S.: the script eats memory on big depth levels for obvious reasons. And the amount of threads (wg-parallel.py:35) must be set somewhere between your processors count and your Internet connection capabilities.
