Ok, I decided that My first game is going to be tetris (Its going to be in 2d) Ive loaded all my shapes (7 of them) and my backround backround they all load fine. But now I need a random shape gen. All I know is that It needs to be in a subroutine.
Any help will be appreciated. BTW, I'm using DB classic.

Thanks.

not quite sure what you mean here, but if you want to select a shape at random to drop down the screen then you just pick one of the shapes image numbers at random, if your shapes are from 5 to 12 for example

shapenumber=5+(rnd(7))

will give you the numbers 5 to 12.

Sorry If I cant explain this well.

But yes, What I need is a Generater to pick a shape at random to drop down the screen.

I'll try the above way with a little editing in a bit. thanks
