[Newbies] Randomness

I forgot to mention, I'm using the random number tile and scripting. Does that make it more difficult?

If you serialize the Random object, then it will have the same state when it's restored. I guess you should create a subclass of Random, which implements #comeFullyUpOnReload:. That method can reinitialize the seed of the random number generator. You may want to check UUIDGenerator >> #makeSeed if you don't know how to get a good seed for your rng.
