http://www.experts-exchange.com/ is where I get all my coding help, they are very good (to ask a question or view an answer to someone else's question you do need to make a [free] account, though).

Interesting how no one answered my thread when I asked for help...

Anyways, that shouldnt bee too complicated...

there's a default random function I think.... i'm guessing you could do:

int i = random(10);

unless there isn't a random function and you'd just have to get a library that uses it

There is a random function, but you don't use it like that.

Try

code:
rand() % 10 + 1
the % performs a modulo division, yielding a number from 0-9. This is offset to get a number from 1-10.

yeah true.... i'm bad at comming out with code just out of the top of my head.... i tend to need to actually do it! :p

Anyways, where can we find tutorials for basic stuff? (yes i made a whole new thread for this but NO ONE answered.... :dodgy: )

For VB and VC++, use MSDN, or Google for some.
