EDIT: Removed my comments about the resolution as it looks like I was talking rubbish.

The randomness works fine for me, even your code. Try increasing the range to random(1, 10) or something to see if you're seeing a difference.

Another way to test the random is to put it inside the loop i.e.



What you should see is the number continuously flick between 1 and 2.

Regarding your random values. That is normal that it will return the same numbers. You need to set a different seed. Look into SetRandomSeed2 and SetRandomSeed. Maybe use a current time value as a seed.

@MikeHart, from my understanding and according to the wording in the help files the seed is automatically generated from the time when the app is launched so you don't need to set a random seed up front, unless you want a specific seed each time.

The problem I found with generating a random boolean is the scope between (0/1) 0r (1/2) is just not enough and the seed always seem to generate the lower of the 2, I found increasing the scope (1/10) gives better results
