    Imagine when you'll be as old as i am

    You could still use an hardware solution... count pulses at the output of a white (even pink) noise generator... now it's going to be really random. Always a long debate around this....

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    LMAO! well could also be a simple op-amp (maybe dual), cmos gate etc etc. no need for a dedicated IC. Maybe PBP SOUND could do the job.
