===== Algorithms =====

==== Damage Calculation ====

This algorithm has its [[ff3:ff3us:doc:asm:algo:basic:damage|own page]]. 

==== Hit Determination ====

This algorithm has its [[ff3:ff3us:doc:asm:algo:basic:hit|own page]].
==== Random encounters ====
counter is a value from 0 to 65535 (?)\\
random is a random value from 0 to 255

<code>
Each step:
  if on overwolrd map: counter = counter + 192;
  if on dungeon map: counter = counter + 112;
  get new random;
  
  if random < (counter / 256)
    fight occurs;
    counter = 0;
</code>

Note: The moogle charm makes the counter value not increasing.

==== Random monster formations ====
