Almost all game programs require a random number generator. When implementing games for embedded systems, generating random numbers raises certain interesting issues. While generation of random number can be done using the rand() C library function, getting a suitable seed is a challenge.

The ZKit-ARM-1343 is an NXP LPC1343 based 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller development kit. It is a full featured development kit, and can be used as a single board computer, for product developerment and prototype development. It provides flexibility through the break-out headers for IOs. The development kit provides the tools engineers need to develop and prototype embedded applications right out of the box. The board is also suitable for teaching and learning embedded system programming.
