Finding Rares: Insight from a Programmer
#31
For the most part, all that can be said is that it's a predetermined algorythm that determines rare drops. A program that generates a unbiased result whenever certain events occur (i.e. killing an enemy, box, etc.) But if you think of it that way than it isn't "completely" random...only a matter of time and patience.

NOTE: Sounds like you've got an interesting choice of hobbies there DARKMATTER...good luck with your coin flipping!

OHO! Thought you could post without me knowing, didn't you!? By the way little brother, you spelt Heifer wrong...or did I?

Anyway, It's good you decided to become more active! Who knows! Maybe one day you will be as popular and famed as me! KYAAHAHAHAAH!

By the way, Yes, he IS my brother, so be nice to him you lot!

Also, he cannot use materials at all anymore, and as he gets so many, I GET THE LOT! AHAHAHAHAH! My luck is now 74! Niiice!

Hey here's a tip, read Computer Fundamentals for Complete Morons. It's a well-known fact that a truly 100% random subroutine is impossible. Even Kefka (who I think hates me) would have to agree with me on that point.

Weapon of Choice: Mind Rod +8

PSO Ep III - GCN
Matt - Blue HUmar - Redria - CLvOn 1 - CLvOff 18
