Hi,
Why is it when I use Math.random to generate 10 random integers I get the
same pattern of numbers almost every time. Starting the SWF movie ten times
and I have 6-8 times the same pattern of numbers. What's going on there?
Almost looks as if the compiler sets pre-compiled numbers.
Using this
Math.random generates psuedo-random numbers. If you want to have
something that looks more random, try calling Math.random a random
number of times before using the numbers.
Use a true random number to determine the number of times to call it in
the initial run.
Suggestion: the modulus 100 of

Most randomisation algorithms are based on a 'seed' value

And yet another random number generator library (was posted at were-
here.com a long long time ago). All open source, credit for use is
nice though. :)
This one is a linear congruential generator. I've never tested the
output against anything, so at best, this may or may not work
properly
