Very nice Landeel. I'll add your game to my Steam wish list!

Btw, really cute Penguins. :')

Great, thanks fxm.

Hey all, I want to store numbers between 0 and 255 in a file such that each number is 1 byte but don't know how to do this. Thanks dim as integer i open "test.txt" for output as #1 for i=1 to 100 print #1,str(rnd*256)) 'this will output a number in text rather than it being 1 byte... next ...

Congratulations!

I had a similar problem and the input file was using the UTF-8-BOM encoding. You can check this with Notepad++ under Encoding. If so, put it to UTF-8.

@12val12newakk You may want to try to replace: Select Case Rglue with: Select Case Rgquadro and change the select case values accordingly. Removing the Rglue dependency may improve the CPU's out of order processing and speed up the code. Like so: Select Case rgquadro 'Rglue case Is >19600 df=9512/(...

Thanks for mentioning. AZdecrypt keeps its threads active, they just wait for input to arrive with a sleep statement added in.

#914 RND is not thread-safe

Thank you

Indeed you are right. The problem for noting this in the documentation is that lots of keywords are not thread-safe, and that it would be a very big job to test them all, in order to have a consistent documentation on this problem. (but this is only my personal opinion) But if you don't note that R...

Okay thanks.

From the help file:

The generator is 'warmed up' during MyRandomize.

Why?

Nope, my program (AZdecrypt) can use up to 65,536 threads (current artificial limit) and the problems it solves can be parallelized by dividing the restarts over the amount of threads. Here is the project page: http://www.zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=3198 I am currently testing whet...

For about a year I was using RND in multi-threaded code and all I knew was that there were significant diminishing returns from using more and more threads. So I ran multiple instances of my program to overcome this. Per accident I found out it was RND causing a massive slowdown. I think there shoul...

@fxm Perhaps a mention could be made in the FBWiki that RND is not thread-safe: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=KeyPgRnd

@coderJeff Could RND be made thread-safe? Is this on the to do list?

Thanks guys.
