In game programs that I’ve written, I do a splash page. To advance from the splash page to the actual game, the user is asked to press any key.
I check INKEY$ and if it is equal to nothing (“”), I get a random number and loop back to the INKEY$ check. Once the user presses a key, the program breaks out of the loop. So even if the random number sequence is predetermined, there will be a random number of random numbers obtained before the game starts. The number of random numbers obtained is based on the time delay for the player to “press any key”. I hope this helps. If not, I can send a code snippet.
