Don’t peek at the solution unless you want to deprive yourself of the sheer joy of working out the spaghetti code and figuring out what the variables really stand for. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below. (tags: dev compsci programming todo) [...]

I started with using tagbody/go for the control flow, but I had replaced all uses of these before I arrived at a working version.

IIRC yes. INT will truncate a floating point number (cut off everything behind the point), and RND returns a floating point number between 0 (including) and 1 (excluding).
(The argument to RND will be used as new seed, when negative; create a new seed, when zero; and use the existing seed, when positive.)

I think I figured out how to embed the code in the comments here…

It seems that average size of population in optimal game should be somewhere between 380 and 390 (if we remove restriction on the game duration).
