Hello, I am trying to use std.rand to generate a random number to randomise the position of a sprite. The problem is that the random number is generated only once and then the number is kept forever until I recompile the application changing the code. What am I doing wrong?
var rand_impl = std.rand.DefaultPrng.init(0);
var num = rand_impl.random().intRangeAtMost(i32, 120, WINDOW_HEIGHT - 120);
currentDrone.dest.y = num;
I am sure I am missing something.

you have to keep the rand_impl object around somewhere
then every time you get a number it will be different
if you initialize it every time with the same seed it will give the same number

Oh silly me thats why! Thank you so much for the help

If you want the numbers to be different each run, you should set a random seed. Current time + process ID is a good fast option, or you can just use std.os.getrandom, which is a bit slow but if you're only running it once it's fine
