 Why the Random Number God is not your friend.
#7
That is a very good point. The random number generator in Dragon Quest was constructed in such a way so that the hero would never remain asleep for more than 6 turns. Designers have to TRY to achieve this effect, which is the point of this thread; to educate developers on how randomness works so they can better utilize it. The default rand( ) in ruby cannot be manipulated in any meaningful way.
