Summary

0002894: Random function doesnt give random results

Description

Was playing with some code for learning purposes and noticed that the random function in the init level script wasn't properly working in Gamemaker Studio. It worked fine in Gamemaker 8.1. You should get different blocks at the start of the room, but in Studio you allways get the same blocks????

Steps To Reproduce

Use the file I uploaded and run the game..

(0001294) Russell Kay (administrator) 2012-04-23 16:30	This is by design - if you want things to be truly random then call randomize() at the start of your code... But I would caution you against this as it is very tricky to track down bugs caused by random() as each time the code is run it is not deterministic...
