86,400 seconds, but TIMER also has fractions of seconds....

86,400,000 milliseconds, for example...

And we get more than .001 ticks after each timer statement..


RANDOMIZE works with SINGLE values, not LONG.

I think you're worried over something that will rarely, if ever, come up in normal life.

Steve,

Not worried. Just curious...

So... if 'random' does not actually exist, what would that mean to what we call, fate? I know. I know. Philosophical questions at 6:24am... What was I thinking? lol

Have a great day!

same as @johnno56 - not worried, just having fun with being creative - not a definitive. After all, no true random anyways :P
I just like re-writing old DOS book games into modern QB64 code - weird hobby, I know!
