Kujibiki (Japanese for “drawing lots” or “pulling straws”) is a small program that can display a random item from a user-defined set.

A screen shot of the program.

When the program starts, you must choose either “Number” to display random integers in a range, or “String” to display random text from a delimited list. You can also choose how the random items are “drawn”: with or without replacement. After choosing these settings, press “Save Settings” to begin.

Items are drawn by pressing the “Next” button, by clicking the center of the display area, or by pressing ‘right’ on the keyboard. If “Without replacement” is checked, items will be drawn only once, so the items will eventually run out. Press “Reset” to reset all the items and start fresh. You can also press ‘backspace’ or ‘Ctrl-R’, or right-click the center of the display area to reset.

Other keyboard shortcuts are:

• Ctrl-F or F11: Toggle full-screen mode.
• Ctrl-H: Hide or show the Reset and Next buttons.
• Ctrl-L: Toggle between English and Japanese UI.

Delimiters for the string list are:

• , (comma) and ; (semi-colon) in English
• , (comma) ; (semi-colon) 、 (chon) ・ (dot) ； (semi-colon) in Japanese
