Basically I was wanting to make a clone of that (For learning purposes ofc :P), but im not sure how I would go about most of the game being completely random, any ideas?

Every turn the drugs that show up in the list are random, the events that occur are random (Drug prices going sky high or rock bottom, or being attacked by something/one), the prices are random (To an extent)

I was thinking of rolling random numbers and deciding what event will happen depending on those, but that seems a little tedious, isnt there an easier way to randomise a set of events/numbers?

Id make a table that contains all ur events and the chance that that specific event would happen. And then with a timer generate a random integer and select the event based on the chances table.

What kind of table?

That table.

[Cush]

That table.

Get out of my house, now :hf:

Aw damn. Where should I go now? :<

What kind of table?

A table like possible events:

Event 1 : 50% chance
Event 2: 30% chance
Event 3: 10% chance
Event 4: 5% chance
Event 5: 4% chance
Event 6 1% chance

then u generate a new number between 1 and 100 and pick the event that matches it

Humm, but what kind of object would I use? So far I havent been able to get multiple columns working in any of the lists.

Then go with an array.

Dim MyArray(1 To 900, 1 To 900) As String

for example.

Well you could Enum your Events; Or I would make an event class and have the Event information in there.

Then you could easily access and add Events to a List or Array.
