Two Latin squares of order $n$ are $r$-orthogonal if, when superimposed, there are exactly $r$ distinct ordered pairs. The spectrum of all values of $r$ for Latin squares of order $n$ is known. A Latin square $A$ of order $n$ is $r$-self-orthogonal if $A$ and its transpose are $r$-orthogonal. The spectrum of all values of $r$ is known for all orders $n\ne 14$. We develop randomized algorithms for computing pairs of $r$-orthogonal Latin squares of order $n$ and algorithms for computing $r$-self-orthogonal Latin squares of order $n$.
