On: Callbacks as our Generation's Goto Statement

[utopkara]

Point taken, yet this particular problem with players asked one after the other is simpler than the case when players are each spawned their own Ask. Here's a simple solution to your problem:

  function getAllNames(players, callback){
		function getPlayer(i, players, callback){
		 	Ask("What's your name", function(name){
				if(isValidName(name)){
					players[i++].name = name;
				}
				if(i == players.length){
					callback(players);
				} else {
					getPlayer(i, players, callback);
				}
		 	});
		}
		getPlayer(0, players, callback)
	}
