hello everyone
is there any way to make random numbers in a loop?
for example look at my project down there. in function "Fight" containing function "Player Attack(Monster& monster)" and function "Monster Attack(Player& player)" i want random numbers to be made everytime loop executes but when i run it, it always make the same number (of course it changes in each run time). can you suggest any change to make it work the way i want?
do not care about a lot of garbages in my code! i've made a lot of tests and didn't delete them.
explanation of project and function "Fight" is also in the zip folder.
thanks

Move your

srand (time(0));

to the beginning of the program. You keep reseeding the random number generator when you only need to seed it once. If you're creating monsters close together the time(0) will likely reseed the generator with the same value so you'll get the same sequence.
