wait, you mean that the random method makes it so that it is the same sequence every time?
Ack, no, you're quite correct; .NET's Random class does indeed use a time-dependent seed if you don't explicitly supply one. (I should have checked the documentation again before posting that, sorry).
lulz, good to know then Smile
You should still do it outside of the loop for a couple of reasons.

1) Object creation is expensive

2) The time seed theoretically could be the same when you create the second Random instance, if you end up creating them fast enough.

Neither really matter in your case, but it's a good habit to get into.

Also, your indenting, braces, and hanging "else;" are terrible - fix that after you slap yourself.

Doesn't mono only work on x86 based processors anyway?
You could just check their site Razz (both Intel and PowerPC are supported for Mac OS X).

no mono should work fine on any processor, at least I know there are arm builds of it.
Ah, I was misinformed. And when I tried loading their site for some odd reason all I got were timeouts, thus, asking Smile

http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.8/macos-10-ppc/10/MonoFramework-2.8_10.macos10.novell.ppc.dmg That should be what you need. I'm assuming you're PPC.

For at least the remainder of the weekend. After that, perhaps not.

Dammit, can anyone make a post on Cemetech anymore without mentioning rival sites at least three times per post? Razz

Good job on this, though, qazz; do you have any screenshots for our enjoyment?


a bit late, but three times per post is a bit of an exaggeration Razz

anywho, I think I need to brush up on my C# at some point...

tho, this book I am reading is being a bit strange

fir example, the writer thinks that

(string[] args) = (string args[])

I mean, seriously.. get it right before publishing
Are you sure it's a C# book? That syntax is legal in Java. It's also possible what it used to be legal in C# for older versions. What's the version the book is targeting?
Ah, I did not know that then, it is targeting an older version I am assuming

and It cant be java considering there is a huge "C#" on the front cover Wink

They didn't change the syntax in C# between versions, and Java and C# both specify arrays in the same way (string[] args)

string args[] would almost be C++, except main in C/C++ takes char* args[].

I didn't think they would, but I wasn't sure. Also, string args[] is valid Java. You can do array declaration either way.
hmm, quick question

I always try to compile SirC's projects when ever he gives the source but the compiler is giving me an error that the namespace linq is missing

I assume that it is an assembly reference but I dont seem to have it >.>
Are you using Visual Studio 2008 or 2010? LINQ was added in .NET 3.5, so you need a relatively recent version of Visual Studio for it.

Alternatively, just remove the using directive - Visual Studio includes it by default, even if you don't use it. (Right-click, Organize Usings, Remove and Sort is handy).
well, I cant afford Visual Studio... I use the .csc executable...
Visual Studio Express is free. You can even use it for commercial purposes. If you're a student in the USA you can also get a free copy of Visual Studio Professional through DreamSpark.
