Re: Random number in VARPG

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.
