i am a first time user of parallax and i find it really fun, however, my classmates and I r doing a yahtzee game. we were wondering if anyone could give us some ideas on how to set it up; such as what's the best lcd screen to use and hints (only) on code for generating random numbers. thanx.

Shinobiluck,

If you re-read the description, this particular forum is really for completed projects. You should really re-post your question in a more appropriate forum. Since you don't mention if you want to make a BASIC Stamp project, or an SX project, or whatever, I leave it up to you to read all the forum descriptions and find the most appropriate one to post to.

Thanks, PeterM

Read the User Docs for the stamp on the command RANDOM, I would use a button as a "Start Game" that doubles as a random number seed generator, Jon Williams has some code for intitializing the generator with a button. A serial LCD is the easist way of connecting an LCD to the stamp, a parallel LCD would also work. There is code for interfacing with both, search around the website documentation for it.

StampWorks has an experiment having to do with a digital die. That experiment uses a 7-segment display, but does show how to get a random number at the press of a button.

As a user you cant move the thread to another forum, but you can copy the text, delete the old post, then paste it into a new thread in the appropriate forum.
