You could do worse than check out Charles Corrign's Hero Wars
contest resolution program. His site is at:
http://www.indigost.demon.co.uk/glorantha/
However I believe there's also a YahooGroup devoted to the
program as well. It's a Java 1.3 app, so you'll need to
download the Java runtime software as well, but I'm sure
Charles' site has info on this.
