[Rails-devel] Random Element

[Scott P. <sc...@re...>]

Would there be any way for me to implement a random element into a game
supported by Rails?  I'm thinking I would like to have the last Private
Company be a randomly selected 20% share.  Could Rails have a function that
first determines whether this company has been determined and if not, select
one at random?

I know Rails plays out the game each time a save is loaded, so perhaps it
would not be able to deal with this.  One of my main design goals for my
prototype is to implement it in Rails, so I don't want to introduce
something that is impossible to implement given the Rails architecture.  I
will manually select this for playtesting via the XML files.
