    Does Quill allow to use more than one image if the game was too big?

    How can I generate in assembly a random number from a range, let's say 0-21 or 0-57?

    There are generators which make it 0-255.

    By using bit masks I can make it 0-127,0-63,0-31 and so on. But what if my range isn't that "equal"?
