Thanks!! |

take current time, divide by 10, take remainder

Could you give me an example? =P
I'm having problems when trying to divide th number, I allways get an error... Thanks |

Code:
push ds
push 040h
pop ds
mov ax, [ds:6Ch]
xor dx,dx
mov cx,10
div cx
pop ds
; dx = number [0,9] |

I don't know how to get time without using int's... If I don't want to use int's in my program, how do I know the address of the int I want to use?
Thanks |

OzzY,
To generate random numbers, you use the rand function provided by C run-time DLLs. Check the attachment for an example.

Oh yeah, but i'm programming for DOS....
Do you know how? Anyway, do you know where can I find some good tutorials for win programming for FASM?? Thanks!! |

How can I do this:
Code: push ds push 040h pop ds mov ax, [ds:6Ch] xor dx,dx mov cx,10 div cx pop ds ; dx = number [0,9] using INT's ? |

I don't know off the top of my head, but if it can be done(i would assume so) then i would hope you already have a copy of Ralf Brown's Interrupt list ( http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html ) and that'll contain all the info you need.

Ok, the following i found on
http://www.npaci.edu/online/v3.7/SCAN1.html Hope this helps you, htere are more listed: "Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) The most commonly used random number generator is the LCG. It is based on the following iterative scheme: X n = a X n-1 + c (mod m), where m is the modulus, a the multiplier, and c the additive constant. The size of the modulus constrains the period, and is usually a prime or a power of 2. When a, c, and m are chosen appropriately, one can obtain a random number sequence with maximum period equal to m. Following are some of the properties of LCGs : for m = 2M and c > 0, full period m (= 2M) is obtained if and only if a = 1(mod m) and c is odd for m = 2M and c = 0, maximum period is 2(M-2) and it is obtained if and only if a = 3 (mod 8) or a = 5(mod 8) and initial seed is odd for m = p (a prime number) and c = 0 or c = nonzero, the maximum period is (p-1) and is obtained if and only if a is primitive element modulo p " |

Well, maeby the simplest is the best, this was originally what i wrote first, but after a little modification it seems like its better than the ones i have developed from the first version ( look at the upper line and you'll see )
sorry if it won't exit, in some cases when the mainloop takes very little amount of time, i shouldn't use bios interrupt. Code: org 256 call set320x200x256 call initrandomz mainloop: mov ecx,320 call randomz mov bx,ax mov ecx,200 call randomz mov cx,ax push ecx mov ecx,255 call randomz pop ecx call putpixel320x200x256 ; al=color bx=x cx=y push eax call bkeycheck cmp al,27 pop eax jnz mainloop call set80x25t int 20h initrandomz: ; modifies edx, eax rdtsc ret randomz: ; ecx=range transparent push ebx push edx mov ebx,eax rdtsc xor ebx,eax push ecx mov cx,bx rol eax,cl mov cl,ch ror eax,cl pop ecx mul ecx mov eax,edx pop edx pop ebx ret putpixel320x200x256: ; al=color, bx=x, cx=y push es push $A000 pop es mov di,cx ; y shl cx,2 add di,cx ; 5y shl di,6 ; 320y add di,bx stosb pop es ret bkeycheck: ;returns: AH = BIOS scan code AL = ASCII character note: enhanced mov ah,0x11 ;Return: ZF set if no keystroke available, ZF clear if keystroke available int 0x16 ;only checks buffer without removing key ret set320x200x256: mov ax,$13 int $10 ret set80x25t: mov ax,$03 int $10 ret i tend to see black lines in my randomz function, so i scrambled it even more, the one below seems totally random to me, i think i can't make it any better, if you want better than this, you might wanna set up huge 3d vector tables and make large amount of calculations, here it is: Code: org 256 call set320x200x256 call initrandomz mainloop: mov ecx,319 call randomz2 mov bx,ax mov ecx,199 call randomz2 mov cx,ax push ecx mov ecx,255 call randomz2 pop ecx call putpixel320x200x256 ; al=color bx=x cx=y push eax call bkeycheck cmp al,27 pop eax jnz mainloop call set80x25t int 20h initrandomz: ; modifies edx, eax rdtsc ret randomz2: ; Z2 ecx=range transparent push ebx push edx mov ebx,eax rdtsc xor ebx,eax push ecx mov cx,bx rol eax,cl push cx and cx,$f btc ax,cx pop cx mov cl,ch ror eax,cl and cx,$f btc ax,cx pop ecx mul ecx mov eax,edx pop edx pop ebx ret putpixel320x200x256: ; al=color, bx=x, cx=y push es push $A000 pop es mov di,cx ; y shl cx,2 add di,cx ; 5y shl di,6 ; 320y add di,bx stosb pop es ret bkeycheck: ;returns: AH = BIOS scan code AL = ASCII character note: enhanced mov ah,0x11 ;Return: ZF set if no keystroke available, ZF clear if keystroke available int 0x16 ;only checks buffer without removing key ret set320x200x256: mov ax,$13 int $10 ret set80x25t: mov ax,$03 int $10 ret MATRIX |

Is there someone who likes my random generator?
If someone needs it i could make it run under 386. its a little slower and bigger then rdtsc. MATRIX |
