Hi! I have here a little problem. I have found a fast algo for radom numbers, but if i say generate a number between 1 and 11 then it never generates a number which is heigher then 9

So have you a simple but fast random number generator for int between 1 - 11 ? Thanks

You can look up the Mersenne Twister pseudo random number generator.
