I decided that I wanted to allow it to be truely random(or at least as random as possible) so I decided to let the system time in second be the starting seed. Since the seconds are in the format 00.00 there are 60*99 different possible seeds. if anyone is interrested then drop me a note. thanx again for all the help... brian -- **************************************************FFFF************************** ************** F ****** ***************** F F FFFFFFFF ****** **** ************* FF FF O F ****** **** ************* FFFF FFF F ****** **** PPPP ************* FF FF (F ****** **** P P ************* F F FFFFFFFF ****** **** P P ************* ****** **** P P AAA ************* ****** **** P P A A ************* ****** **** P A A ************* ****** **** P AAAAAAAA D D D ************* ****** **** P A A D D ************* ****** **** P A A D D IIIIIII ************* ****** **** P A A D D I ************* ****** **** D D I ************* ****** **** D D D I ************* ****** **** I ************* ****** **** IIIIIII ***************** **** brian pleshek ************* **** miami university ********** ******************************************************************************** Disclaimer: Define what you mean by not DISTURBING the coral.
