How does srand() work??

[Guest KM]

Hi,

I'm using that code to start the random function:

unsigned int dt = 0;


while ((GetAsyncKeyState (VK_RETURN) < 0)==false)


{


	dt = dt++;




}




srand(dt);

but it does not work,

and he produce allways the same numbers.

Any idea??

srand sets a starting point for the random number generator. To ensure this is different every time you run your app, I would use the time.

eg... srand(time(void));

Then to get a random number between say, 0 and 9 inclusive, do:

int num = rand() % 10;

I tried this to, but instead of time getsytem... (which return the seconds the system is on).

my compiler (evc 2002) doesn't know the time command and the time.h.

Any idea??

Try

srand(GetTickCount());

I have tried this one too,

but it is always starts the same map.

What is strange that, the pc places the enemies randomly,

the map not.

I don't know what the bug is.

Maybe evc
