| I want to do a game thats like risk, but I hve no idea how a computer could attack you or how to randomly distribute countries and if you roll the dice yours is higher the enemy loses a man. |

You ask questions about all the easy parts...
randomly distribute countries:
Code:
seq(int(I/7+1),I,0,41 -> WORLD
rantInt(1,42,42 -> TEMP
SortA(L_TEMP, L_WORLD
Delvar L_TEMP
attacking:
Code:
//A=attacker's army - 1, D=defender's army,
randInt(1,6,min(A,3 -> DICE1
randInt(1,6,min(D,2 -> DICE2
SortD(L_DICE1
SortD(L_DICE2
For(I,1,min(dim(L_DICE1),dim(L_DICE2
If L_DICE1(I)>L_DICE2(I)
Then
D-1 -> D
Else
A-1 -> A
End
End
What I'd really want to know is how you'd determine which countries border each other. |

| I think there are already 3 risk-like games on ticalc. None of them look any good though. I hope you make a good version! |

| Is there a way to store the countries to anything so you tell what they can and can't do. If you want to attack a country it will give you a list, but what I would do is take the countries you have and where you decide to attack would give a list of places you can, but I don't know how I can do this? This seems hopeless already, can you give me a link to those programs already made? |

What's the point of looking at those programs? The best you'll be able to do is write another exactly like them.
I think you should make a matrix to store the countries. |

[[Owner #, # of soldiers, # of bordering country 1... # of bordering country n]
[Owner #, # of soldiers, # of bordering country 1... fill unused spaces here with 0]
[Owner #, # of soldiers, # of bordering country 1... it will be at most 8 x 42]] |

Learning to use arrays is intimidating at first, but once you do, you enter a whole new world of programming. Start with a snake game to learn how to use lists and matrices. Once you do that, you might be able to do this game.
Edit: Sorry about the triple post, my comp wouldnt load the page so i got pissed and clicked like a hundred times...

| Should I draw a map of the world or some continent? The problem with the world is it would be incredibly small. It's your call Jesus Freak. |

But would that require saving it to more than one pic? I dont think you can in basic.

| I like the one-map approach. You could also try 2 overlapping world maps. |

| Well, say the world map couldn't fit into just one PIC. Maybe you could divide the map into in thirds or something; where both of the PICs hold 2/3s of the whole image. |
