With GET #1, , a$(1) you probably wanted GET #1, , a$1

Aye.  I don’t use variables in such a manner usually, (normally I DIM my strings to avoid typing the $ as much as possible), so I gaffed the syntax.  a$(1) is a string array; a$1 is a single byte character.  a$1 would work much better in this case.

Could probably just set up a small radio telescope and use background noise from space, but then I wouldn't know where to get a radio telescope. Don't think you'll find a much better source for random values than that. I think Random.org(or is that .com) uses atmospheric  noise.

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. DO
2.     PRINT RND(TIMER)
3. LOOP
4.  

just timer changes itself  and gives a seed.

I don't know _RADIOTELESCOPE's synthax....
sorry for my bad knowledge! :-)

Moreover is it  more predictable the flow of the sea on the beach?
