Hey all, me again,

Sorry to pester but could anyone help with how to generate a random character? I've been given a task to try and create a 'matrix effect' with the scrolling text of random characters (all printable random characters as specified by the task) i have a slight plan with how i'm going to do parts but could really do with knowing how to generate the random char in the first place!

many thanks

That's easy, char and int are closely related, and you can do math on chars...
Try:

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
char c = (char) int(random(33, 127));
print(c);
}

v.k.

There was a recent post like a challenge of doing matrix effect in most simple way. Try yours before searching the forum for matrix. I told try first...
