hello !

I have a patch PD with random, but they are not random enough... how to improve a random ?

thank !

[random 76457478478]
|
[mod 100]

( instead of [random 100] )

or

put random in a subpatch

then,

[loadbang]
|
[f $0]
|
[seed $1<
|
[random]

or

[key]
|

• |
  [seed $1<
  |
  [random]

the last one is my favourite cos it reseeds everytime you press a key on your keyboard.

anyway, you need to use a [seed < message and find some unique way of sending it numbers that will be different everytime. zexy's [time] object is good for that too. the last outlet gives the current time in milliseconds, which makes a good variable seed.
