DSA: random number?

Is there any way to randomly choose a number within a range using DSA in CSBWin? Thanks.

&RAND

This generates a number between 0 and the number one less than on the stack

L50 &RAND generates a number between 0 and 49, etc

That sounds simple enough! It sounds like you can't set a lower boundary (too bad), but I think I have a way around that. I'll just need to subtract the upper boundary by the lower boundary, then add it again after the random number has been found :) Thanks for the help.

Pretty much

L5 &RAND gives you 0 - 4
L5 &+ gives you 5 - 9 for example

Do you mean

Code: Select all

L5 &+ &RAND
? Wow, that's easier than I was about to make it!

No, you need to put things on the stacks first

L5 &RAND L5 &+

Stay true to CSB - employ gigglers for random generators.

Lol, some numbers can't reply on gigglers - like which direction a trolin will strike in combat with deth knights :D

Maybe you just need enough giggler-controlled invisible soundless spinners ;-)

Maybe that's how DSA's really work - they generate 32 hidden levels of giggler mechanics :D

Serves them right for STEALING MY VORPAL BLADE *fireball fireball poison dart*

You should not have (waved ) the vorpal blade in front of the gigglers' faces in the first place!
Next time , put it into your backpack.
THey are cleptomaniacs that have a fixation on stuff in hands..
BUT, if you think about it : fireballing them is fun! even more so, if they charge you.

Maybe if the gigglers had a guild you could pay them gold coins in order to keep your vorpal blade.
