Random number function

Message #14660 of 15019 |

Hi gbadev forum,

Rather than re-invent the wheel trying to write an ARM random number gernerator function, i thought i'd ask if anyone has done this before or if there is an easy fast way to achieve random numbers.

I'm thinking of doing a GBA conversion of the classic Atari 8bit version of River Raid, which generates terrain and enemies randomly.

Cheers,

McGeezer
