Most computer applications use uniform randomness, but it sounds like what you want is normally distributed randomness, with mean = 50 and variance to be specified. Changing the variance changes the slope of the curve and in effect, the degree to which is is bunched near the mean. Given that computer "random" numbers are uniform, you need to transform them into normally distributed numbers. Try this: http://www.taygeta.com/random/gaussian.html I didn't fully parse it, but it looks like a reasonable source. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
