Question
Newbie help on AI!! The game is being developed in VB6 and is similar to Scrabble only it uses numbers instead of words and letters. Just basic AI techniques to make a functional single player game. We are planning to use several Randomize calls but we dont have a clear idea on how to implement it. Please help us. Thank you very much !!!

Hi Marlon,

Hope this mail finds you in best of health and spirit.

1. Falk Hueffner created a dictionary program that was to be used for a Scrabble-type word game. The source can be found at this link under the name dawg.tar.gz.
