SpectateSwamp said:vesuvius said:*snip*I have used this simple method as random forum question generator before. A huge list of Bugs is intimidating. Random ones popping up are a much more interesting read. It's not about Swamp Search its about using random. It's ready to go just give me a nice list.
My first real random app was a christmas lotto in 1973. We sold 117 tickets. Some people bought a few some only 1. We had a texas miki as first prize. We drew every ticket. with prizes of 12 bottles of beer 4 bottles of wine a 26 oz of wiskey and the big one. With each ticket we had a winning and losing comment on the ticket owner. During the final 10 or so we would show who still remained. The whole office was there. I still have the computer listing somewhere. It took us days to get all the insider pokes at our fellow workers. both winning and losing. What fun that random poke fun at your co-worker lotto was. Probably illegal now. We drank the beer and wine right away. The big boss was away. Probably sent on a goose chase.
You'll love random.
You'll love random.
You ARE random.
B.T.W.: what kind of algorithm do you use to produce your randomness? Do you use a cryptographic random number generator? What kind of entropy source do you use? And remember: pseudo-random ≠ random.
