The "real" ascendant is dependent on time & location. If you follow the
algorithm, you'll see that Cusp 10 (and thus Cusp 4 as well) are the
same regardless of latitude. The MC changes with longitude in the time
conversion step (because the time on our clocks is based on the
longitude) and the ascendant is "normally" based on the computed MC
(which means it's automatically corrected for longitude in that step as
well).
Only Cusps 1 & 7 actually have anything to do with the ascendant and
they don't change with the latitude.
The other cusps are corrected for latitude in step 5.
(I'm not happy with my wording above, I hope it doesn't make things more
confusing.)

I'm curious. Have you done any programming before?
Once you've calculated the house cusps, creating a table should be easy.

Well...
Since you're deriving your ascendant from a random number, you aren't
using the true ascendant when you calculate your houses. I think this
would through off all your houses anyway, so why don't you just
substitute the formula you are using to derive the ascendant in for the
formula that I gave you and just calculate everything else as given?
The majority of the calculations depend on the MC, so I "think" that as
long as you don't change the MC, you "should" be ok...but I'm not sure.
(Except, I'm guessing, the cardinal and succedant houses might get
squished or stretched, since you are altering the relation****p between
the Ascendant and the MC). Why not give it a try and find out?
Since you're using a false ascendant, instead of the real one you're not
going to get "real" Placidus Houses anyway, so why not call them Faux
Placidus or maybe Gupta Houses or something. :)
