As far as I can see, these routines give me the results
I'm looking for. I get a distribution of four negative numbers,
four positive integers in the range 10 to 110, and nothing
is placed in room 6 or room 11:
#!/usr/bin/python
import random
#print "\n"*30
table= [[ 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 1
[ 1, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 2
[ 2, 0, 5, 2, 0, 0, 0], # 3
[ 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 4
[ 4, 0, 0, 3,15,13, 0], # 5
[ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 6
[ 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 7
[ 7,10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 8
[ 0,19, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0], # 9
[ 8, 0,11, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 10
[ 0, 0,10, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 11
[ 0, 0, 0,13, 0, 0, 0], # 12
[ 0, 0,12, 0, 5, 0, 0], # 13
[ 0,15,17, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 14
[14, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0], # 15
[17, 0,19, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 16
[18,16, 0,14, 0, 0, 0], # 17
[ 0,17, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # 18
[ 9, 0, 0,16, 0, 0, 0]] # 19
# Distribute the treasure
J = 0
while J <= 3:
T = int(random.random()*19)+1
if T == 6:
continue
if T == 11:
continue
if T == 13:
continue
if table[T-1][6] != 0:
continue
b = range(10,110)
treasure = random.choice(b)
table[T-1][6] = treasure
J += 1
# Place androids/aliens in rooms
J = 4
while J > 0:
T = int(random.random()*19)+1
if T == 6:
continue
if T == 11:
continue
if T == 13:
continue
if table[T-1][6] != 0:
continue
table[T-1][6] = -J
J -= 1
#print dir(table)
for i in range(0,19):
print ("%3d" % table[i][6]), "Rm#",i+1
I simply threw away all the previous attempts that weren't
quite 100% and started over. The final test will be to put
these routines in the old games, and see how they work.

"You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its
orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such
allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil.
A good person will resist an evil system with his or her
whole soul." [Mahatma Gandhi]
