Hallo,
I get allways (10 times at least) the same result:
-------------------------------------------------------------
\starttext
\startluacode
math.randomseed(os.time())
\stopluacode
Encode your Name and Surname as a
\startluacode
local a = {'null-terminated', 'dollar-terminated', 'Pascal'}
context('%s string', a[math.random(1,3)])
\stopluacode
\stoptext
-------------------------------------------------------------
How can I randomize this?
Hmm... which version are you using? I do get a ranom output each time.
Tested with 2009.12.31 and 2010.03.20.
Since the math seed is set after \starttext, it should overwrite the value
after reading the tuc file.
Actually, I consider saving the random number in tuc file to be a
misfeature. A random sequence generator should generate a random sequence.
If I want the same behavior all the time, I can use
\setupsystem[random=12345] (which should also set
math.randomseed).
