Visual Basic :: Generating Random Numbers, But Not Repeating Any, Is There An Easy Way To Do This?

28 Non Repeating Random Numbers And Freezing
I need to make a matching game for a project. I have the game itself all made and it works good. Now I need to make the placement of the cards random. I have 28 "cards" therefore 28 random non repeating numbers. 1-28. I have them on a timer all making seperate random numbers, and if the number made is equal to any numbers made before it, it will goto the begining of it's own seperate number randomizing code. But when I try to play it, just to see if it doesn't freeze, it does. Any help on a way to obtain my goal would be much appreciated.

PS, i need to be able to return back to the numbers, (like if num1 = 1 then image1.top = a number...and so on, so listing them in an array wouldnt work, least i dont know how to make it work like that.)

Thanx

How Do I Create Random But NO Repeating Numbers??
Hi,

I am using an array of 6 Text Boxes and In thoughs boxes I need 6 Numbers to appear.

The Numbers are from 1-49.

How do I get these numbers to be Random and make sure they are NOT repeated In any of the OTHER Boxes??

Thanks to ANYONE who can help Me on this.

Bye

Generate Random Numbers Without Repeating
I need to generate random numbers, from 1 to 15. The program runs a timer, and every second, a new number is generated, but it cannot be one that was already generated. This means that by time the 15th number is reached, it will be automatically chosen.

I have created a way of doing this involving 15 extra variables that are filled when each number is used. It works, but it seems to bog down the timer, since it is checking so many variables. Is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks,
Jason

Generating Random Numbers
I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a random number generater that would symbolize a deck of cards. I alread know how to generate the 52 numbers nut i don't know how to make the program use each number only once.

Generating A Set Of Random Numbers
i would like to know how to generate random numbers between two set numbers. For example, 0-999.

Any ideas?

Generating Random Numbers In VB6
For a project I have currently done, I have designed a database that contains a table, which contains the field "NHS Number". People in the UK would know that this is a unique ten digit number.

I am in the process of adding "people" into the database for testing purposes.

In real life, different people would have totally different NHS Numbers, so using AutoNumber is totally out of the question. So I have to have a random number...

I have currently made a random integer generator to solve this problem... or so I thought

Using the following code:

vb Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim dblRand As Double Dim strRand As String dblRand = Int(Rnd * 10000000000#) Text1.Text = dblRand Clipboard.Clear strRand = dblRand Clipboard.SetText strRandEnd Sub

Using the
Code:
Int()
command doesn't acutally generate a random number each time for me. While I'm running the program, it generates random numbers, fair enough. When I start the program again, it generates the same random numbers it did before

Is there something I've done wrong? Is there another way to randomise numbers?

Thanks

Generating Random Numbers
I am fairly new to vb. But I dont know how to go about this problem. What I need is to Generate Random Numbers between 0 and 1. Numbers cant be more than 3 decimal places (.000).

I need help on this ASAP. So if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great.

If you can provide code it would be even better.

Thanks to all that reply.

Generating Random Numbers
In the Program I am Writing I need to have the ability to generate random numbers... Mainly 1-100 right now I used this

per1.Text = Int(Rnd * 100)

But it does not generate a very random number beig each time i run the program it runs the same numbers...
ButI also need to know how to generate random numbers for other TYPES of dice.. Such as a D3 D6 D10 and d20 But I do not even know where to start generating these? if anyone can give me a step in the right direction........

TIA
Rogan

Generating Random Numbers
How does one go about generating a random number in VB? I'm interested in knowing how to generate one in two scenarios:

Generate random # between 1 and 298
Generate random # between 0 and infinity

Thanks for your time!

Generating Non-Linear Random Numbers
I need to create random data but not on a linear scale. For example, I want random data to show how many TVs are in a household. For this example the range I am working on is 1 to 11. I could use:

randomValue = Int(Rnd * 11) + 1

But I want the random results to be based on a percentage. For this example (see below), when I create my data, I want 4% of housholds to have 1 TV, 8% to have 2 TVs, 12% have 3% and so on...

14%
28%
312%
420%
523%
613%
711%
83%
93%
102%
111%

How can I generate this? There is probably already an example here for this, but I do not know what it is called to be able to search for it.

Thank you.

Excluding Numbers From Random Generating
Good day!
I develop a random number generator. I need to generate, for example, numbers from 1 to 90. How can I exclude from generating such numbers, like, for example, 89,76,2 and 7. How can I do that? What I was doing is adding each new generated number to a collection of restricted numbers, so if such a number appears, it generates another one and so on until all numbers are generated. But the presented algorithm is not the optimal one I think. Any ideas on how to implement the functionality?
Thanks!

Generating Random Numbers, Whole Numbers Only
hello all!

I used this code to generate random numbers in VB:
Code:lRndNum = (65000 * Rnd)

where I wanted to produce a bunch of random numbers from 0 to 65000.
My problem is, I want to discard the decimal points in the generated random result.

I only want to have random numbers, whole numbers, that is, without the messy decimal point.

I hope you'll hear me out. Thanks!

Array Help (generating Unique Random Numbers)
ok the problem i have is i want 6 random numbers to be generated inside 6 text boxes i then want the 6 boxes to be checked so they dont have

For x = 0 To 10

ball(x) = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 1

Next x

For x = 0 To 5

that happily givs me mynumbers, so how do i use an array to check each box for the same numbers then get it to genrate a new number

[easy] Generating A Random String From An Array
Here's a very simple question with a probably very simple answer..

I made a form with a CommandButton1 and a TextBox1 in VB 6.3. This is what I want to make happen: click the CommandButton1 -> make appear a string in TextBox1, randomly chosen from an array consisting of these three words 'apple', 'pear', 'banana'. This should be completely random, eg. clicking the button 5 times in a row may give an output sequence like this: banana - pear - banana - apple - apple.

That's really all the code should do From there I can work on my project myself.

(there doesn't seem to exist many good free VB tutorials online, and the book I got from the library down town isn't of much use either..)

Who can help me out? Should be a quickie!

Non-repeating Random No's
Apart from being a complete beginner with VB, I would like to know how to generate a group of 6 random numbers (displayed in 6 labels) with none of those numbers being the same.

I am already aware of the Int(RND * 49)+1 code line that creates a random number between 1 and 49. How can i get non-repeating numbers in my question above?

Repeating Numbers
how do I get visual basic to ignore the fact that "1/6" is a repeating number... basically, I want to multiply "1/6" six times to equal 6, but it keeps giving me "1.0000000000000000" blah blah blah. How can i have it make a clean "1"?

Random Numbers-is It Possible To Generate Random Numbers With A Algorithum?
The rnd function in vb generated pseudo-random numbers. That means if you use these numbers as a key for some type of encryption it would make it fairly easy to break(if you knwo how) because you can predict what numbers will be generated by the rnd function.

I'm trying to design a method that might involve a couple of diffrent algorithums to genertae random numbers.
One of my idea's was to monitor network traffic for numbers, error messages, etc...
If anybody has idea's, code, or comments please reply!
At the moment I have absolutely know idea howto monitor the arrival of packets or error messages, so if you knwo how please respond!!!

' PSEUDO RANDOM NON REPEATING
' These routines generate a fixed pattern, BUT, they generate every value in a range
' ONE time before it repeats. This effect is very useful for pixel fades because if
' you use the value to determine a pixel to draw (or erase) it will generate all the
' values only 1 time, meaning all pixels will be addressed without testing or maintaining
' an array. Applications are limited, but VERY useful in specific cases.
'
' Call routine once passing a seed value, then
' Call it without a value to get successive pseudo random values
'
' NOTE: The value 0 will not be generated, but can be used as a seed.
'
' This method was originally in a Dr Dobbs journal in the mid 80's, along with a table
' of mask values that would generate various ranges. I have used this routine 100s of
' times in assembly for various graphics effects (like pixel fades for older palm pilots)
' and converted it to VB to use for a 'block' fade effct (bitblt blocks, not pixels)

I Can't Stop Repeating, Repeating,repeating,repeating,repea . . .
I have a function which adds together three integers from an array in a loop. It tests for TRUE and puts the result in another array. Thus: A+B+C=X.
I would like to filter same results, for example if we want X=10 then 5+2+3=10 or 5+1+4=10 but there is no need to repeat 2+3+5=10.

Here's what I got so far:

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Private Function Combine(Values, TargetValue) As String()

Dim arr1, arr2, arr3
arr1 = rArray
arr2 = rArray

For i = 0 To UBound(arr1)
For j = 0 To UBound(arr2)
For k = 0 To UBound(arr3)

arr = AddToArray(arr, arr1(i) & " + " & arr2(j) & " + " & arr3(k) & " = " & intVal)

How Do I Make A Loop Instead Of Repeating Commands? (super Easy!)
Instead of doing this:

Path1 = "E:logsslhe"
Path2 = "E:logsportalAU_PortalIntranet_3"
Path3 = "E:logsportalAU_PortalIntranet_4"
Path4 = "E:logsportalCHAPPS02"

Dim fso
Dim oFolder
Dim oFile
Dim oSubFolder

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(Path1)

For Each oFile In oFolder.files
If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified,Now) > 100 Then
oFile.Delete True
End If
Next

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(Path2)

For Each oFile In oFolder.files
If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified,Now) > 100 Then
oFile.Delete True
End If
Next

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(Path3)

For Each oFile In oFolder.files
If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified,Now) > 100 Then
oFile.Delete True
End If
Next

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(Path4)

For Each oFile In oFolder.files
If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified,Now) > 100 Then
oFile.Delete True
End If
Next

and so on forever and ever how can I make it into a simple loop instead to make my program easier to maintain? Something like what you see below.. where it will just loop through all the different paths that I define up top.

Or better yet how would I say go into directory A, get all the subdirectories, and then loop through all of them? That part I don't need right now.. just the basic part.

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(Path1/2/3/4/5/etc)

For Each oFile In oFolder.files
If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified,Now) > 100 Then
oFile.Delete True
End If
Next

The Random Function Gets The Same Random Numbers Every Time I Start The Program
I'm making a Poker program

The code is like:
Command1_click sub()
Card1.caption = int(rnd()*53) +1
Card2.caption = int(rnd()*53) +1
Card3.caption = int(rnd()*53) +1
Card4.caption = int(rnd()*53) +1
Card5.caption = int(rnd()*53) +1
End sub
( I use much more codes of course)

When I click the command1 button, I get the numbers random, but I get the same random numbers in the same order every time I start the game.
Example.

I start the game:
I click command1: card1= 9, card2= 18, card3= 42, card4= 23, card5= 4
I click command1 again: card1= 7, card2= 51, card3= 13, card4= 29, card5= 14
and so on, random every time I click...

I start the game again, another time:
I click command1: card1= 9, card2= 18, card3= 42, card4= 23, card5= 4
I click command1 again: card1= 7, card2= 51, card3= 13, card4= 29, card5= 14
and so on, random every time I click. But I get the same numbers, In the same order.

I hope I've explained my problem well.
Please, help.... =(

Generating Numbers
I was wondering what the best way to generate a list of numbers in the range of 0000 - 5000 would be? I tried looping, but I cannot loop through more than one 0 at a time.

For example, if I do this:

Code:
Dim NumLoop As Integer
NumLoop = 0000
Visual Basic will reset "0000" to just a single 0. So, how can I generate numbers from 0000 - 5000 easily?

Thanks for your help.

Generating Numbers!!
Hi!

I am trying to generate some numbers as follows:

From: 00000000001
To: 99999999999

Well the problem is when i try to do it using a loop or something as soon as i press enter or space after typing the number 00000000001 VB converts it to 1 automatically.

And the other problem is that when i type in a big number like this VB automatically adds a '#' sign after the number! i don't know what it means but then i am unable to generate the numbers.

Any solutions ?

Thanks!

Generating Possible Numbers
Ok what i want to do is here is a picture those 6 boxes the user inputs numbers say 1-50 in each box then when they click generate possible numbers meaning combinations label on the right tells them how many and the big textbox multilined tells them all the possible numbers dashed can yall help me out?<p>

Generating Numbers..
Hmm, not sure how to put this really.. I wanna know if it's possible to generate a WHOLE list of the possible combinations you can make using 0-9.. An I want it to remove doubles if there are any.. Is there ANYWAY at all this coule be done?

Generating Numbers
OK, I have 9 labels, in which I want to display 9 numbers,
from 1-9.

Now, I need to display each combination of possible numbers, in a methodical way, using a timer, where each time it fires, a new set of numbers appears.

Any ideas?

Generating A Random Dungeon Map...
Programming slashers are pretty fun. Playing them are fun too. The one thing I have found that makes the games old quickly is "static maps".

I've done a few games with great "map editors", but after a while, creating "new maps" get's to be a pain and, besides, if you create the map yourself... where's the adventure in that?

About the most famous of ALL games in which has random map generators is Diablo 1 & 2. I guess that's why those games stay popular for so many years... the maps are always different for each game.

In doing this, I have discovered it's no easy task to "do a good map everytime".

Plain "Map editors" are easy and aren't much of a challenge. I'm looking for something to make a game engine that will keep interest.

I've done a couple of generators, but the results are no where near satisfying.

I am wondering if there is anyone here who has successfully coded a Random Map Generator?

I'm NOT looking for code... What I am looking for is "approach", or flow of your code.

I'm starting with simple maps. 2D Square Dungeon maps. Rooms and Hallways and Doors.

My approach is starting top left, doing 1 square at a time. Do some logic on the surrounding squares, make a decision on what to make that square, move on to the next.

The problem is there isn't much structure to the map.

How would you do it? Generate Hallways for the Map, then fill in the spaces with Room, then Doors?
Or, Generate Rooms throughout the map, then fill in with hallways?
...etc.

Just looking for some Code "FLOW" ideas.

Thanks!

Generating Random Letters In Vb 6.0
Hi all

Sorry should have explained this in more detail, here's what I want to do.
I have one form with 5 text boxes on it and need to generate random letters between A-F and random Numbers between 0-9

For Example: Text box 1 A0, Text 2 B7 Text 3 F9 Text 4 C6 Text 5 E8

So when the user clicks the command button, the program will generate random letters and numbers in each of the text boxes.

Could anyone maybe just point me in the direction with a couple of lines of code to perform this task.

Thanks for any help in advance
