Not so random, random drawing...
I'm doing some drawing in C# as a fun way to learn more about the language, and I'm getting some unexpected results from the Random() method.
When trying to distribute a star throughout a black background by entering a random x & y coordinate, the icons just follow somewhat of a line from top left to bottom right. They're placed in a different pattern each time, but still along the same line (see screenshots).
Thanks for any suggestions you might give!
