Does anyone know how I can simply get an object to move around randomly?

RANDOMIZE(TIMER) will create a random seed.

From this point, look up RND in the help to learn how to create a random number within the range required.

one object that moves at random....

sync on:sync rate 60
make object sphere 1,1
position camera 100,100,-100
point camera 100,100,0
position object 1,100,100,0
point object 1,0,0,0
distance=10
do
repeat
move object 1,0.5
traveled#=traveled#+0.5
sync
until traveled#>=distance
point object 1,rnd(200),rnd(200),0
distance=rnd(20)+2
traveled#=0
loop
