Hi,
I'm trying to come up with a way to generate a pseudo-random sequence
of integers that meet the following conditions:
- there are n integers in the sequence
- the sum of the integers in the sequence is x
- the value of each integer in the sequence is between 1 and 6, inclusive
Basically, I'm trying to create a game in which users roll a die and
move their piece along a game board, but arranging things so that on
the last turn they reach the "finish" space exactly. (It's all for
fun, so there are no ethical concerns about "rigging.")
There are a few times during the game where the number of turns
remaining might increase by one, so I have to be able to recalculate
the sequence on the fly based on the player's current board position.
I suppose I'll also have to make sure the player doesnt' get too
close to the finish space on the penultimate turn, in case an extra
turn needs to be added.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be most appreciative!
Thanks in advance,
Jim
