The rand() function is a seeded random generator. The seed always starts at the same value, and you have to change it with the srand() function. Generally, you call srand(time(0)); once at the start of the program, and never again.
Keep in mind that newer C++ standards deprecated the rand() set of functions in favor of the new random number generator library header:
