Hi, first of all thanks for your response to my message.

I'm now managing a PBEM, with use a EA Sports hockey simulator, the
problem is that when some of the teams has no owner I must simulate the
game and it means at last 20 minutes until the computer plays all the
game. So if I want to continue with my championship I must to look for a
fast way to simulate the games. Why not to program my own simulator? The
program I need to do is only a program who generate the stats for one
game, stats about the scorers, the penalties, etc ... but only for one
game because I have now a program to join all the results and calculate
total stats.

The output of the program must be only a text file with the stats, and
the Language to program I prefer Visual Basic, but i can understand
(almost) any code (C, C++, Java, ...).

My problem is that I don't know how to start to design the simulator. I
've two teams and each team has x players with some properties, speed,
strength, shot ability..., each team has a different lines to play, and
a different way to play in each play.

Perhaps I must only  generate some game events randomly like penalties,
and then build the rest of the game.

Any help will be appreciated.

J.M.
