Hi! Thanks for all your tips. I'll now try it with the sample value of the time between the code is starting and the moment when the user presses the first key. I guess that should be random enough. But, yeah, I agree with Kassen that a function to read the computer time should be included in one of the next releases. It would be much more elegant with that. And of course I am looking forward to the ChucKoo clock...
Uhm, I still don't get it. I tried your example on two platforms yesterday (Mac and Windows -- my Linux machine is 64-bit) and the numbers are random -- with the exception of the first one (which you can get around by just having an extra, unused "Std.rand();" in your code.). Why would you go to all that trouble? Even if you did have the time in there you'd still have the same problem. Std.srand() just calls the C srand() function and it's already called with the system time when ChucK is initializing... -Scott
