AppJet + Random.org = True JSON randomness
Oi, I've been busy for the past week, mostly with doing nothing at all and just enjoying the tail end of the summer. Got some good ideas I need to put some work in now but for now here's another small app I made while messing around with AppJet a few weeks ago.
It's a simple JS gateway to the true random number generator at Random.org (created by Mads Haahr). It accesses the Random.org API, retrieves a number of random integers (maximum of 100 numbers), turns the response into JSON data and calls a callback function specified by you.
Example usage:
I'm not sure if I'll ever have a use case where a pseudo-random Math.random() call won't do, but usefulness is not really my game anyway..
Check out the application and source here: http://json-random.appjet.net/

alert( "A random number between 1 and 100: " + res.numbers[0] );
}
