ping.pyw

Because of the slow connection speeds at my place, I decided it is time to stop playing League of Legends with high ping -or at least minimize my in-game time when I lag. Therefore, I decided to create a program which will help me easily find out my ping and make sure it's low enough for me to play. After spending hours to finally finish this, I decided I ought to share it with you guys. Who knows, some of you might actually find this useful -some may even have been looking for something of this nature. Anyway, I hope it can help you. Additionally, make sure to change the destination server to "League of Legends" from "Google". The ms you're going to get from the former one is the number you are probably going to get in-game too.

Things to note: -->The script is entirely written in Python 2.7. This means that you are going to require an installation of that release, are you to run it. You can download Python 2.7 from here. Adding it to path is unnecessary.

-->The fact that it has been written in Python also implies that the program is open-source. Feel free to edit it in any way you want to and show me the results (even though the code is quite chaotic for one to understand what is actually going on).

-->The GUI library used is Tkinter. Tkinter is installed together with the Python release, so you needn't worry about installing anything extra.

-->There is a high chance the program might not work on non-Windows machines. I would have made it operative on Linux, had I deemed it useful, but because League of Legends is currently not able to be run on Linux, I thought there was no point in doing so. As for Mac OS, I'm unfamiliar with it and I can't be sure if it can work there.

-->The program can also be used to ping other servers, if you know their IP address.

-->Last but not least, I assure you that the program is totally virus-free. I am not trying to spread any type of malware by sharing it. Normally, I wouldn't be pointing anything like this out, but due to previous experiences that I've had with posting files in forums, I concluded it would be for the best if I did.

this looks like a virus
