Hi!

What kind of c++ compiler do you want to use?
Firstly you need a compiler and IDE. I suggest visual studio express
http://www.microsoft.com/express/product/default.aspx

or QtCreator
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads (free version! and this is multiplatform)

Secondly, you could look a random generator sample program:
