lol, who cares about what you say anyways? jk
I guess I missed that part...
so why is it made obsolete now? isn't it still useful then, if it provides with a new seed?

cuz its turing.. nobody needs to use randomize for anything useful.. and again you didnt read what i said.. it makes the program real slow..

here's the deal with randomize:
in old days of DOS turing randint was just that... randint... and it was seeded by system time. Now that just means that for a whole second you'll be getting the same "random" number. So to fix this, randomize marked the flag in the function to seed itself with previously generated number...
Now, then the WinOOT came out, they still kept the randomize even though it is executed by default now. They kept it just so that those who are "used" to old sytax could still type it Basically the same reason we got drawfillbox() and Draw.FillBox(). Cuz Tom is nuts and is making a crappy language with 5 spellings for same command.
