Many QBasic programs, especially games, involve generating random numbers.
This program handles a variety of random number tasks, and you may want
incorporate its techniques and subroutines in your own programs.
QBRND.BAS is capable of generating random lotto numbers, generating a
tournament draw, determining a draft order at random, choosing bingo numbers,
and more.
To run the program from the DOS command line, change to the directory
containing QBRND.BAS, then type:
QBASIC /RUN QBRND
Instead of limiting the number choices to a range, such as 1 to 100, the
program asks for the size of the sample and then asks how many times you wish
to draw from that sample. For a lottery, for instance, you might enter 49 as
the sample size and 6 as the number of draws; for bingo, good values might be
75 and 75.

Please note that QBjs is still in early development and support for these examples is extremely experimental (meaning will most likely not work). With that out of the way, give it a try!
