SRAND Number Generation Help

[rdrast]

But when the other commands in main are using the same formula, gameTime should be taking the value from when it last was, so the countdown should keep going down.

I do not know if you people are helping and being funny or criticizing. If you want the whole code, say so. Do not act like this please.

The way I have the code set up, it is supposed to keep looping using the new gameTime each time in each pass and hit 0 eventually.

Well, from what you posted, I don't see additional calls to rand(), which you may not want anyway, but I demonstrated how with a single call, and a single number, exactly WHY you were alternating between two discrete values.

I can only base a guess on what you posted. I just followed the math, assuming your:
gameTime = randomTime - gameTime;
statement is what is being executed in your loop.

If you consider that criticism, fine.
