[A89] really random numbers
OK, I want a really random number. I know that most random number
generators just generate erratic but completely deterministic sequences
for a given initial value (the seed). So I thought about maybe making
the seed random, like setting it to a part of memory that changes often.
I figured that the video memory (i.e. the home screen before it's
cleared) would probably be a good choice. Is there a possibly better
choice like the stack? I plan to set the seed before anything else in
the program.
