  Well how many rts type games have you seen using bullet collision?

  I've seen zero because they all use instant hit, and work off of probability.

  Its like another seed.

  So if you were to set the count to 4, and the seed to 5 you would get different values than if you were to set the count to say 3, and seed to 5.

  Seed gives you a repeatable random number. That means that every number generated with that seed will come out in the same order when you use that seed again.

  Can't different screens have the same size, and have different ppi?

  Also, how would you get the ppi?

  I made an example that should show what to expect.

  Notice how object with the value 90 are created much less often.

  Im not sure what happens in the system when doing every random seconds, might have to ask Ashley about that.

  Just do a system compare, no need for every xx seconds.

  The reason you shouldn't use random is because the system doesn't remember what the random value was tick to tick.

  Also random uses decimals so use int, or abs, etc, otherwise it may never be equal.

  Using every random second is not the ideal way to do things.

  You would be better off comparing a random number to a set number, and if they are equal, then do something.

  Wasn't really sure where to put it, but where ever you think it would be appropriate is fine by me.
