If you look a little further up at line 109, you will see this:

     chance[index] = atoi(row[1])+chancepool;

So if there are three possible forage items, the first with chance 5, the next with chance 10, and the last with chance 50, we get:

  chance[0] = 5
  chance[1] = 15
  chance[2] = 65

On line 132, a random number between 1 and 65 is generated. Then, in the loop, if the random number is <=5, the first item is chosen, if it is > 5 and <=15, the second item is chosen, else the last item is chosen.
