hey jim, why not make an nhl hockey game where you are the goal-keeper or something like that. or, you could make the active player as yourself, the one who has the stick and hits the puck. and then when it's the other team's turn you can just pick what direction you want the other team to go in, and assign random values so the computer can generate random events maybe based on your last moves or something.
