I tend to add "eor variable" inside my random routine, where 'variable' is
something that I know changes with regularity. Some onscreen timer,
perhaps, or the horizontal or vertical position of some object. Or just a
byte which is incremented every frame. Then even when your random number
gets to 0, you'll still be random. You also don't need that 0-check and $FF
load, if you do this.
