In the "RPG" post I asked how you could make a shop keeper give a random response without having to generate random numbers. I don't have any clue how to make monsters encounters random.
Could you guys please clear some of this up for me?
If you want to actually make it a random mechanism, you're going to have to use random numbers. What is your problem with using random numbers? The only other way I can think of to simulate this behavior is to cycle through an array of strings containing greetings. It wouldn't be random (the sequence would be repetitive), but you would get a variety of greetings. The same goes for monster encounters, unless there's some other unique timing point in your program at which you could initiate a "monster encounter".
