I have 10 cars. All have to start when the light turns green.
[Obviously, in a real race not all cars start at the same time and at same
speed]

 I had tried:
 repeat with loops = 1 to 100
 repeat with x = 1 to 10
  speed = random(20)
  ver = ver - speed
  sprite(x).locv = ver
 end repeat
 end repeat

 however, this isnt realistic as cars 1-10 always run in sequence.

 So...

 I tried:
 repeat with loops = 1 to 100
 car = random(10)
 speed = random(20)
 ver = ver - speed
 sprite(car).locv = ver
 end repeat

 however, this isnt realistic as only 1 car moves at a time and
 the same car could move again while others are standing still.

I cant use a loop, I cant use random so
whats the best solution?
