[Coco] Tandy Color Computer 3 RND Function

[EDDY SZCZERBINSKI]

Hello all,
regarding RND, I remember using the joystick values as an additional random factor.
Don't really remember exactly how, but I remember that during a game, the x,y values would "move a lot" and also not being the same numbers for the same action.  But of course, I agree it depends on the game played and this proposition does not work in all situations. But at the time, it was more than enough to introduce another random factor to prevent any repetition.
Stay safe and happy cocoeing !

I said) The value of the stack pointer at the next timer interrupt is somewhat random.
But now that I think about it some more...
The value of the program counter at the next timer interrupt is somewhat random.
But now that I think about it some more...
The value of the return location that is stored on the stack at the nex timer interrupt is somewhat random.
