Jayenkai	You also need to check there's no duplicates along the way, too.

Hotshot	no duplicates along the way. How would I do that? It seem would have too many IF Commands for all numbers to stop being duplicates again unless if I was using Arrays to make things easier like IF J[ i ]=j then j[ i ]=Rnd(49)

Jayenkai	Apologies. I've typed this on my ipad, so it might not work properly! SeedRnd MilliSecs() Dim Old(10) ; Array for storing old numbers For i=1 To 6 Repeat Allow=1. ; Allow! j=Rnd(48)+1 For k=1 to i-1 ; Test against old numbers If j=Old(k) then Allow=0. ; Disallow if duplicate Next Until Allow=1. ; if we disallow it, it'll loop. Print j Next WaitKey --v

Hotshot	That is interesting code to learn from. One things I have notice is you put Dim Old(10) Why 10 Array for storing old numbers?

Jayenkai	I always overscale my arrays just a bit, to avoid odd quirky overflow values, but also to allow you to tweak it in the future. Eg, you might want to include a bonus ball, or something like that.
