math.random() is wrong

for example
math.random(200)
is only 1
or
math.random(200,300)
is only 200

That's a lua problem.

-- you only get 200
count = 0
while count < 100 do
  number = math.random(200, 300)
  print(number)
  if number == 200 then
    break
  end
  count = count + 1
end

-- works properly
math.randomseed(os.time())

count = 0
while count < 100 do
  number = math.random(200, 300)
  print(number)
  if number == 200 then
    break
  end
  count = count + 1
end
