Would this be how i set up a RND?

RND (1,100)? And also, how would i print the number into a PRINT thingy? Would it be something like:

Print "Blah blah blah blah"
RND (1,100);a#
PRINT "You got";a#;"blah blah blah"

Also how would i get it set up so once the RND amount REACHES a combined total of 200 it PRINTs something?

first of all to make your random numbers truely random you need to feed the randomize command a seed or random number, the easiest way to do this is to go

randomize timer()

it takes the timer() number which is a number counting from midnight on this current day

randomize 234234 is what it would say at one specific time of the day as an example

a mini example of what you would want is similar to this code.



im not on a pc at the momo so there may be a few mini bugs.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

This is useful. You can make a bunch of little functions like this when you program to save you time and headaches.

function Rand(min,max)
diff=max-min
base=rnd(diff-1)
result=base+min+1
endfunction result


I forget if rnd() starts at zero or 1. Here I assumed it would start from 0. If it starts at one remove the "-1" from "base=rnd" and the "+1" from "result=base+min".
