srand(time(NULL)) is called before sucking random values out of rand(), so a repeating PRNG sequence will not happen. > > Wouldn't a sequencial generation be better? > does not matter at all. Another issue with the PRNG is that it only has 32bit state, that will be fixed in the next svn release changing to boost::random. since 2^32 is good for 4 billion chains, the random numbers used so far are good enough. ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
