Introduction


Here is some starter code for Chinese Fortune Casting Example Demo. The impetus for this calculator was checking some probabilities on the Chinese bronzes example. Its easy enough to plug in formulas/subroutines into the display formats on Game kingdom of Strategy and Chinese Iching Hexagrams on Chou Bronzes : TCL Example. Most of the checked testcases involve flipping two sided objects like coins or popsicle sticks or four sided rectangular dice, see pix below. This page is more an investigation into the mindset of the Chinese sages, using TCL visual and random subroutines.


In planning any software, it is advisable to gather a number of testcases to check the results of the program.
