My apologies - what I meant to type was that I AM doing this:
int tmp = (arc4random()%10)+1;
while (tmp == activeTarget) {
tmp = (arc4random()%10)+1;
}
activeTarget = tmp;
This is for a game, so it's not very critical or anything. Someone told me
that I might want to avoid a while loop at all by doing something like this:
int result = (arc4random()%9) + 1;
if (result >= activeTarget) ++result;
activeTarget = result;
That seems a little odd to me to do things that way - but I'm not really
sure.
