    Does anybody know how to make a random number thats not between 1 - 0?
    Im traying to make a simple game to teach myself, and im traying to generate a random number from 1 - 11.

    Thanks!

    Once you have a random number that is between 0-1 you multiply it by 11, round down, and add one.:

    double tempValue = Math.random() * maxValue;
    int value = (int) Math.floor(tempValue) + 1;

    Thats acually a bit more code then you need.
