Create a participant randomizer for use in psychology experiments. The program should ask how many groups are to be run and how many participants are needed per group. The output will be a schedule that the researcher can use to assign the volunteers randomly to groups as they are dragged out of the introductory psych class. 2.

The game was played by placed the disk over a spinner. A player's turn at bat was simulated by the spinner.
