;Task:
The purpose of this task is to write a program that can randomly generate any one of the 960 Chess960 initial positions. You will show the result as the first rank displayed withusing either the [[wp:Chess symbols in Unicode|Chesschess symbols in Unicode: (♔♕♖♗♘)]] or with, the letters '''K'''ing '''Q'''ueen '''R'''ook '''B'''ishop k'''N'''ight, or the corresponding letters in a language other than English.

This function accepts a SP-ID and generates the corresponding position; to generate a random one, just pass in roll 960 (<tt>?960</tt>). (It's written for index origin 1, but reduces the passed-in SP-ID modulo 960 so that works without having to subtract 1 from the roll result.)

As noted in the C implementation for the [[Sparkline in unicode]] task, unicode output is reliable only on Linux/Unix systems. This implementation thus has compiler directives to check whether the underlying system is Windows or Linux, if Windows, only letters are printed, otherwise Unicode output is displayed. 9 rows are displayed.

BuildThe simplest J approach for this task is to initially build a table of the starting positions. thenThen, for the task, we pick one position from the table at random. There are 40320 distinct permutations of 8 items and 5040 distinct permutations of these chess pieces and (as the task name points out) only 960 permutations which also satisfy the constraints on bishop and rook position, so little memory is needed to generate the table. Also, since the table is built at "compile time", execution is fast (though "compilation" is reasonably fast also).
