I know this game isn't written in javascript and the ids are setup to a loop that's in a function that makes a random number (yes they're random). Before 2008 when the game wasn't as popular the setup was like it is now but is just a function with a different type of loop, so whenever you added a penguin back then it would give you the next id (ex.1234, 1235, 1236, etc).
