    I'm on a roll! *hides* No, but seriously I did. You shake the little M5 stack and 6 dice come up with a more or less true random. And he's so happy. It put me in a good mood. He learned a little C++. Win win.

            I read the floating voltage from a n/c pin throuh an ADC

              You could have stopped at two dice but then it would have been total craps

              If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

                This... this is actually beautiful. I can see it used in D&D when you have to roll 13d6 for a Fireball damage.

                  That is pretty cool. I have always wanted to use the RDRAND instruction, but always been too lazy to get it working in C#

                    I played around for a project a while ago... I used the classical

                    srand ((unsigned int)time(NULL));

                    as seed but then the actual rand usage was only to initialize the three terms needed for a xorshift (George Marsaglia algorithm) of 2^96 period, was big enough for me and the fastest of what I tried (in the meanwhile I have read that 2x64 bits Xor-Shifts are faster with bigger range, but didn't test it myself yet) I liked it because I didn't need any external source and in all my tests I didn't catch a single repetition (played with it some months in my project).

                      It's much harder to do that if you don't have a built in clock! :)
