It works fine. Got some help from my sister though. Here's what i (her) came up with in Excel for the latitude. =ASIN((RANDBETWEEN(-1000;1000)/1000))/PI()*180 Thanks D H!

Just thought of a blunt way of doing it. I peel the sphere into say 24 sections and lay them out flat, then draw a rectangle around all of it and randomizes a number inside the rectangle, a simpel X and Y value, and those points that miss the peels simply doesn't count. It's not pretty but i...

Uhm, i have absolutely no idea what this means. I only know very basic math. And in case i was unclear in my first post, i want an even distribution, not centered to the poles.

How do i randomize a position on a sphere? Using a random number between 0 and 360 for longitude and a number between -90 to 90 for latitude would make it more probable to get closer to the poles right?

I think the players capture each others pieces by jumping over them, any direction. Something in the first 3 turns suggested that the dot is doing the first move every turn. The leftmost dot in the 4th turn was spared by the cross-player because he would have lost in turn 5 had he taken it.
