Help With RND Function

[markjd]

Can someone help me please? I have been working through the tutorials and have started playing around with the RND function but have come across something I am unsure about.

A=RND(100)
B=RND(7)

PRINT A, 100, 100
PRINT B, 120, 120
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT

If I run this it generates the numbers 72 and 1. If I run it again it generates 100 and 0. If I run it a third time it goes back to 72 and 1 and a forth time 100 and 0, which doesn't seem very random, what am I doing wrong?

Use -

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


SEEDRND GETTIMERALL()


This gets the timer from the pc and will differ every time. Use it at the start of your program, before you call any random numbers.
