If they don't repeat, they *aren't* random.
You could store a list of "already used" color value, and use only different
ones, but you might still get colors that are so close that you can't
distinguish them.

Use a static list of color values (like the constants in the Color class),
and pick them one after another.

This might seem a stupid question but here goes - I wrote a key generator for one of my programs in Visual Basic, so I recieve sales notification via email and then use my program to generate the key and send it via Email. Well after finding out about PHP, and that my host does PHP, I thought it would be quicker and more reliable to generate the keys on the server and send them out again either vai email or from the sales site.

Hi, I have been working on some code that requires a high use of random numbers within. Mostly I either have to either: 1) flip a coin i.e. 0 or 1, or 2) generate a double between 0 and 1. I have utilised the following random number source code http://www.agner.org/random/ What I have found is that there is a problem with seeding. The code generates a seed based on time(0). I have found that I need to increment

Plus If you have any coding practice ideas for the above defined project please share them.

I know how to use rand() to generate random POSITIVE-INTEGER numbers. But, I'd like to generate a random DOUBLE number in the range of 0.0 to 1.0 with resolution of a double (i.e., every possible double value in the range could come up with equal probability). I'd also like to be able to seed this generator (e.g., via the clock) so that the same sequence of random values don't come up every time. Anybody have an easy and fast...

Hello all, Is there a function in the standard C library which returns a prime number which is also pseudo-random? Assuming there isn't, as it appears from the docs that I have, is there a better way than to fill an array of range 0... RAND_MAX with pre-computed primes and using the output of rand() to index into it to extract a random prime.
