does anyone here have some background about c language? how can i make games using rand()?

Question

im gonna create the computer version of the game mastermind, i cant create a source code, im supposed to use the rand() function

Answer 1

rand() will just give you a random number. thats it! you need to know MUCH more than that to create a game.
OK, how its used: (off the top of my head)

first seed the random number generator:
srand(Time(NULL));
next, get a random number from 0 to, say 51
int RandomNumber;
RandomNumber = rand()&52;
thats it, you now have a random number

Answer 2

Couldn't you use rand to pick a number from 1-52, then assign each value to a card in a deck of cards? That would allow you to deal the cards. At that point, you could do a simple blackjack game?

Answer 3

See the man page for rand(3). Just type

man rand()

into Yahoo or Google.
