How to write a Random() method?

[jerrykeating]

Hi there,
i am using Nokia_7210_MIDP_SDK_v1_0 which doesn't provide the Math.random() method,but i am now writing a Tetrics game MIDlet and need to generate random square.
How can I write my own random() method?Can anyboy help?
Thank you in advance!

I think you will find it does .. but not in Math.

import  java.util.Random;

Random random = new Random();

// --------------------------------------------------------------------- //
public static int rand(int scale)
{
	try
	{
		return (random.nextInt() << 1 >>> 1) % scale;
	}
	catch (Exception e)
	{
		return(0);
	}
}
// --------------------------------------------------------------------- //
