Inspiration

I always thought about how the Random class in Java worked and what it used to generate a random number, but I never figured it out. This hackathon helped me find my own way (it's not completely random though) to generate random numbers.

What it does

Generates a random number within a given range (given as input).

How we built it

Used the current local time seconds to generate a random number.

Challenges we ran into

Actually thinking of how to generate a completely random number without the Random class.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Figuring out that the local time should, in theory, give a different number every time.

What we learned

There are a few ways to generate your own random number, but it can't actually be completely random.

What's next for Random Number Generator

I might try using this in some of my other projects.
