Note that "rand.nextInt(int n)" might be what you want: "Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence.". This also takes into account that simply taking the modulus does usually _not_ result in a uniformly distribution, since usually MAX_INT is no multiple of n. greets eph _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
