Saw it, it is great stuff. I think I will use this method to simulate the game engine.

Found it!!! Gonna give it a read and let you know. Thanks man.

Perhaps credit the defender with +1 steal and change possession. Sounds like the perfect implementation of Finite State Machines.

I'm looking into another possible way to achieve what I want. I...

How would you then use the result?

The 'stamina' attribute would be a great addition. Also, I would like to put in a 'toughness' attribute that would determine how prone a player is to injury as well as how long it takes for him to...

Thanks for replying rliq. I fully intend to incorporate player stats into the mix I'm just not sure how to make the stat's interact with each and simulate "life-like" statistics. The computer would...

Hello all,

I'm working on a text-based basketball game and I would like to know of the possible options I could use to simulate games with realistic stats. For instance, if a team wins a game 104...

I forgot to put in the (-25) roll penalty for the StealChance, however you have a general idea of what I've accomplished.

Hello again,

Just and update. I've managed to create the function without any shortcomings. I did it as follows:

StealChance = RandomClass.Next() % 96
BallHandlingChance = RandomClass2.Next()...

You are right....the answer was right there. I understand now. The problem I was having is thinking that a percentage value should be the answer whereas it should help to form the solution.

Thanks...

I really haven't been programming long so I'm not sure what I am suppose to be seeing. I must admit, I do feel a little foolish right now for not being able to come up with an answer.

Then perhaps have a nested IF to say whether a Steal occurred or not.

I was responding to dglienna's comment.

I do understand what you are saying, I'm just not sure I want to randomize the numbers. That would mean I would randomize (using the above example) the...

Okay. I'm not sure where to start though.

Yes. Perhaps I can explain myself better with an example:

Imagine a basketball game where players move/act based on stats. A defender may have his STEAL rating at 94, and the offensive player has...

Hello all,

Is there a function that calculates the probability (in percentage) of an argument? I understand that this comment maybe a little vague, however I've only recently began programming so...
