Hey everyone. I'm kinda new to coding but I'm figuring it out slowly. I just have one question at the moment. How would I go about making a random number and then using it? So for example, I want a random song to play. So I want it to play one song if the number is one and another if it's 2. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.

this is strange. For some reason the game crashes when I start it up. The game never even starts! Here's the code, tell me if there's anything wrong.

public void PlayActionMusic()
        {

            Random rand = new Random(); 
            int songIndex = rand.Next(2); 
            if (songIndex == 0)   //play song 1
                MediaPlayer.Play(actionMusic);
            else if (songIndex == 1)   //play song 2
            MediaPlayer.Play(actionMusic2);
           

            

            
        }

public void LoadContent(ContentManager Content)

newMeteor = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("newmeteor");

menuSelect = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("menu_select3");

menuScroll = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("menu_scroll");

menuBack = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("menu_back");

explosion = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("explosion");

powerget = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("powerget");

powershow = Content.Load<SoundEffect>("powershow");

actionMusic = Content.Load<Song>("backmusic");

actionMusic2 = Content.Load<Song>("fpbeat");

openMusic = Content.Load<Song>("startmusic");

// All music must be in loop

MediaPlayer.IsRepeating = true;

I'm assuming that you have added the fpbeat to the project and that it's a .wav file because the content pipeline just support that file format. (unless you have another sound engine like Windows MCI or ActiveX sound playback codecs)

There's a few things you can do to make sure the file is used properly:

-Make sure the build action of the fpbeat is set to 'Compile'. Otherwise your game will not recognize the file.
-Check the asset name. You may have changed it in some way.
