Weather bots: moving clouds (maybe even a morphing algorythm or two to give the effect of actual clouds), storms (rain, snow, hail, cats and dogs, whatever), fog, etc. Woo! Sure would look more realistic than animated textures on polygons that go too fast or are too jerky if repeating frames...

Well I'm thinknig of experimenting and doing something like that using aw_random to propb pick different locations and what kind of weather it will be...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I've been wondering how to use the aw_random function in the sdk. I know it goes if (aw_random () == 1000000) puts ("You sure are lucky"); But how do you control the range that it returns? it says something about 6000 digits in the docs...
