[Audyssey] randomising
HI all I would very much like to know how its possible for the computer to randomise. Take a game like pipe2. How did they program the game so that the computer randomly choose an item. Randomising sounds to me like a supernatural thing. I know that programmers puts if statements into their code:if this happens do this. but how do they write a program to randomise; to randomly pick an item from others? I think this is how dice games such as jims' games and GMA dice works. The moment you press a key to throw the dice the computer first plays a sound of a dice thrown and then it randomly decides on a number within a range depending on the dice you are using, because there could impossibly not be a physical dice in the cpu. How do a programmer tell the computer to randomise? Is it only one statement in his code? Does the programmer for instance put a line in his code that tells the computer: randomise? Is randomising a function built into the computer or do the programmer have to instruct the computer on how to randomise? because as far as I know, a program is a set of instructions which tasks the computer should perform. I can't play pipe2 on my computer if I don't have the program because the computer doesn't know how to present pipes to fit and side scrollers without instructions. Because randomising is, as far as i know, mostly used in games, I thought it would be appropriate to ask it here. I'm just curious how it happens that the computer gets its ability to randomise within a game. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Rail Racer query
Hey Allen, If I remember correctly, the creater of RailRacer is Che, and I think the Beta version was for sell sometime around June sometime, I don't know if it is still for sale or not, but that is the last I heard about this game.
