Random always same in start

[EldRoos]

How can I make Math.random() not always generate same numbers when starting an app in the simulator?

Yes

Got random to work by making a loop millisecond, of current time, number of times to generate different amount of random number each time the simulator starts, instead of always getting the identical range So did not need to write my own new random function.

Like:

let timer = new Date().getMilliseconds();
let total = 0
console.log("timer:" + timer);
for (; timer > 0; timer--) {
  total += Math.random();
}
console.log("timer:" + timer + ", total: " + total);

BTW I had to use the random generated number else the build would see it was not used and not do it.

Hence this did not work:

for (; timer > 0; timer--) {
  Math.random();
}
