Like the title suggests, I haven't done any real programming before, but out of minor necessity I was driven to attempt to make a small program.
So far Ive determined what i want the program to do and some basic Ideas for how to accomplish it. But I have no idea how to actually create the program.
My basic plan was to create a highly adjustable d10 simulator. I was originally trying to do i thorough Java but my computer refuses to allow the javac command which leaves me dead in the water on java. My next thought was to run the program through Excel and thereby VB.
The actual program needed to generate X #of random integers between 1 and 10, and output them to a column, then reference that column and for all values Z and greater generate another integer until no new integers needed to be generated. Then it would reference the column one last time to tally all values Y and greater.
The values X, Y, and Z would be equal to the values in 3 cells in the spread sheet.
The more I fail at getting this to work the more I'm beginning to believe it isn't possible. if anyone can help me with the program or just general tips it would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
