RANDOMIZE MATRIX and RANDOMIZE timer() is No Link.

A picture same in every time.
re-run.
run.
run.

This program.

+ Code Snippet

` DBP 66b
RANDOMIZE timer()

create bitmap 1,32,32 : cls rgb(0,0,0) :
 ink rgb(0,145,0),0 : box 1,1,31,31
get image 30,0,0,32,32 : delete bitmap 1

make matrix 1, 2000, 2000, 4, 4
prepare matrix texture 1, 30, 1, 1
randomize matrix 1, 400
update matrix 1

POSITION CAMERA 500,600,-1000
do

loop

the same matrix every time for DBP.
As for this, a different picture must be displayed.
RANDOMIZE timer() is invalid.

...and
DBC is good work.

randomize timer() works fine, but randomize matrix doesn't seem to use those numbers, which it should.

This effectively means that a randomised matrix isn't actually random, but is predictable. I'll mark it as comfirmed an hopefully Lee will link it to the standard RND command.
