Hey guys, this is my first post on this website, so please excuse any mistakes.
Ok, now here is the problem:
I have to make a final project for my DLD course at college, and most students in this course end up making a clock (kind of a tradition for some reason), but I want to do something a little more challenging and different. Having looked around for quite some time about project ideas, I think i have found something, (see attached video link):

I find this project really interesting but I am a little confused about how some of it will work:
*First, how can I generate random bytes for the top line of LEDs, so that the game is fair and somewhat challenging? My first thought is using counters but obviously they will be too predictable.
*Secondly, how can I make the same byte scroll down until the end? For this part, I was thinking flip flops but I am not sure.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. I know you guys would prefer if I had shown you some kind of effort before, but all I need is some guidance or just some kind of an idea for the afore mentioned problems.
Also any other project ideas of similar difficulty will be great.
