Mat, Do you mean something like this \define pseudo-rand(beta, alpha:1) <$set name=seed value=<<now "XXX">> > <$list filter="[<__beta__>subtract<__alpha__>multiply<seed>divide[999]add<__alpha__>round[]]" variable=prand> <<prand>> </$list> </$set> \end
<<pseudo-rand beta:10>> If we linearly map [0, 999] into [alpha:1, beta:n] where alpha is the first tiddler and beta is the number of tiddlers to be used for random display! from mathematics we have x in [0, 999] (this will be generated by now macro) y in [alpha, beta] (this is the number we like) then y= (beta - alpha) / 999 + alpha In our case if assume number of tiddlers tagged say with myTag is n like 100 then <<pseudo-rand beta:100>> n can be calculated values for example from count filter operator.
