Re: Random number in VARPG

I understood the issue and was trying to stay with a VARPG-only solution as
I felt that you wanted this to be a learning exercise for you, too.

As I read the question I sensed, probably wrongly, that you were duplicating
my early algorithm of trying to use the green screen cycle for an event
driven program.

Booth,
 
the randomization needs to be done _before_ he starts answering questions.
  This is the program flow I'm trying to create:
 
1-select which multiplication tables he wants to treat (presently 1
through 10) via check boxes
2-create all questions & answers in an array
3-randomize the array so that the questions are not ordered anymore
4-read through the array, ask questions & store the results
(correct/wrong)
 
As I said earlier, step 2 is so quick that the array is filled within a
few milliseconds, resulting in many duplicate timer values.
 
Thanks anyway,

VARPG has a timer part.  Perhaps you could use the timer?  The timer
sample
has a bouncing VARPG, but if you made that an image and he clicked the
image
to get a new question....  Then use the timer value???  I think the timer
value is 1000 ticks per second.
