wrong forum ...

lib: cstdlib, ctime

code:

srand(time(0)); //seed the randomizer
int random = rand()%32; // random number 0->32

Thanks soreno, and im sry to bother you Shag, i really am!

One more thing, would that be any different if i were to get random char? or is it the same? And is there any openGL command to randomize things? like objects or somthing like that... Thanks

To get a random char, just do this:

char rchar; srand(time(NULL)); rchar = rand()%128;

This works because all a char is in C is an integer with a different upper bound.

say you want to create a random char (ascii value from 32 to 255):

char rchar;
srand(time(NULL));
rchar = (rand()%(255-32))+32;

hey soreno, thanks for the info AND you are a god with screen savers. Thanks for the update, it works on my pc and teachers pc too! Much faster then b4, thanks so much.
