Broadcast to check if UUID is already in use #34

Closed thequbit closed 9 years ago

thequbit commented 10 years ago

Every element within the BarkingOwl universe requires a unique ID. The default value for each elements init() function is to use str(uuid.uuid4()). It would be nice if we could check to make sure this ID isn't already in use if the default is not used. If anything some kind of debug output so the user knows whats going on.

I'm not sure that this is actually needed, as there could be an application where you would want to spoof an UID. I am going to close this for now.
