A random word generator?[resolved]

[Turtleman924]

I want to make a random word generator. Like just the words that I type in the script though. Could anyone please give me the code?
It would just be a simple word that appears in a text box. But in the script it puts one of the random words i tell it to every time you click the button. I know lua 5.1 scripting a little. I'm only 13 though. So as you can imagine I'm no mastermind at code. You would put something like this in lua:

button1 function onclick
print word.math;random(word1,word2,word3,etc)




I would enjoy it if someone could just post the code. I'm sure it's quite easy to make. I'm just new to this language. Thanks

Whenever you want something random in VB, you are pretty much always going to use a Random object. You call Next on that object to get a random Integer in a range, then use that Integer in whatever way is appropriate. In your case, that would mean indexing an array or collection containing all you words.

Big deal! I'm only 16 yet I know the language semi-decently.

What you're asking is quite similar to how you'd do it in LUA. I won't program this for you, instead I'll do a bit of Psuedo-Code.

Declare Array of Words() [Call it Words()]
Declare Random Object   [Call it RNM]
Declare Integer             [Call it i]
i = RNM.Next()
Declare Current Word [call it CurrWord]
CurrWord = Words(i)

There you go. Something like that.

I finished my gen. It generates random passwords. I didn't say that because I was worried you guys would take it wrong. Lol

Here is the file: (you probably won't find it useful. But its one of my first programs ever wrote)


Even made a icon for it. I feel so special lol.

Aw. Apparently its a invalid file. Here's the media fire link:

Hi Turtleman,

Just an idea:

You could use Chr or Chrw with a random number to get random characters. Example:

This would generate 10 different characters:

        Dim random As New Random
        Dim password As New Text.StringBuilder

        For i As Int32 = 0 To 9
            password.Append(Chr(random.Next(65, 90)))
        Next

        MsgBox(password.ToString)
