nrandom function

[Oliver Scantleberry]

Does anyone know how to initialize the "nrandom_seed" or use the "nseed function", whichever one I should use, to use the "nrandom" function without a repeating series of output numbers?

Never mind, I found my typo-- "invoke nseed, var". Thanks anyway.

Hi Oliver,

Reading the manual \masm32\help\masmlib.chm :

nrandom

nrandom proc base:DWORD

Description

A Park Miller random algorithm written by Jaymeson Trudgen (NaN) and optimised by Rickey Bowers Jr. (bitRAKE).

Parameter

1.base Zero based range for random output.

Return Value

Random number within range set in "base" in EAX.

Comments

The seed for the random algorithm is set as a variable of GLOBAL scope in a seperate procedure atached to the library module. The variable is nrandom_seed and this variable should be set with a DWORD size number prior to the use of this algorithm.

Hi, actually you have solved the problem, anyway i have made and published sources about random functions once upon a time. Maybe people need them again ;) Check the attachments.
