I have been making a shooting game(birds-eye view), and have put ‘Bots’ into it but i seem to be have trouble making the bots spawn randomly over the entire map. (550w x 400h-the usual)  
I have tried using the Math.random function but it only picks between 0 and 1; is there a way to make Math.random choose between 0 - 550 (for the width of screen) ???  
Or would i have to make some function for that purpose?
