My friend wants me to make a text-based simulated horse racing game for his site. Horses with specified stats such as sped, endurance, etc. would be bought on the site. It would be an RP thing where racers post their horses and stuff and whoever runs it enters the info into a "decider" which I am trying to make and is informed of the winner. I know that it is possible to make random number generators in DBPro but is it possible to have it where I enter the info and then the "decider" decides who wins based on the stats but there is still a chance of something unexpected happening? How would I do that? Thanks.

Well you could just compare the stats in the program to find the logical winner then genorate a random number then depending on if the random number is say 5 make the horse who would have lost win.

Basicly:

If horse1speed > horse2speed
If Rnd(100) <> 5 then horse1win = 1
Endif
if horse1speed < horse2speed
If rnd(100) <> 5 then horse2win = 1
endif


(Untested code)

Good luck

Thanks guys If I wanted to add more variables such as endurance, acceleration, etc. I could incorporate that in too in a similar fashion, right?
