Does DBpro use the same random number generator as DBC?
Do you still come up with the same values if you use the same seed twice?

It's mot really a big deal I know how to get random enough numbers.
I was just curious if they have improved this in DBpro

I don't know what you mean, but just use randomize timer() for all your randomisation needs.

dark basic classic uses randomize timer() by defalt without you having to type it in... with darkbasic pro you need to type it into the beginning of your code or every time you play the game it will be the same... well... i hope this helps...

Shadow: eh?, you did read that post didn`t you?, how on earth can you be in doubt as to what he meant?

this

for i=1 to 10
print rnd(100)
next i
wait 100000

gives the same numbers for both classic and pro

41,85,72,38,80,69,65,68,96,22,49,67

so I guess they use the same random number generator, most probably the one available in the C++ libs.

Mentor.

oops! yes! same seed, same numbers for both
