I have my screen set-up like this: setscreen ("graphics:800;600"). Now, I'm using a box to get the limitations for my explore window. That works like I want. The only problem I am having is when it comes to randomly choose where to put my character. This is what I have for the box: drawbox (1, 125, maxx, maxy, 1) So I can select from 1-800 and 1-600. But when I randomly choose where I want my guy to go, I can only choose from like 1-36 and like 1-50. How can I make it so I can choose from 1-800 and 1-600? |

ok the character location is different from the graphical location, so instead of using locate, use locatexy which finds the closes cursor location from the given coordinates. |

or randomize between 1 and maxcol and 1 and maxrow to randomize the location for text row := Rand.Int (1, maxrow) col := Rand.Int (1, maxcol) locate (row, col) put "some text" |

y bother having variables? if ur gonna have variables juss use randint(variable,low,high) if ur gonna use Rand.Int, dun even use variables |
