hi

I am working on a game currently and have come to a section that is causing me 
a small amount of grief......

the routine has to return a boolean based on a percentage ie TRUE = hit, FALSE 
= miss, and there are different percentages for the different types of weapons 
used.

example:
weapon 1 has 1% chance of hitting target
weapon 2 has 13% chance of hitting target
etc
weapon 10

as these percentages are configurable at the time of the game setup they could 
be anything from 1% to 99%

hoping someone can shed some light on an easy way to achieve this.

cheers
