More than worrying about generating random or pseudo-random numbers, it's interesting to generate non-repeating values. The purpose of this source is to verify the possibility of converting an algorithm for TI99 into ugBASIC.
99 DEFINE DEFAULT TYPE SIGNED BYTE 100 CLS: RANDOMIZE 101 DIM cpc(6) 110 FOR i = 0 TO 5 120 cpc(i) = i 130 NEXT 140 FOR i = 5 TO 1 STEP -1 150 rndnumber = RND(i) 160 tmpnumber = cpc(i) 170 cpc(i) = cpc(rndnumber) 180 cpc(rndnumber) = tmpnumber 190 NEXT 200 PRINT cpc(0);cpc(1);cpc(2);cpc(3);cpc(4);cpc(5) 210 GOTO 110
