Well, you could make your own pseudo-random number generator. Or download a list of random bits from random.org and use those.
Or take a deck of cards and shuffle them by hand, then scan the result

C has a random function which you can use by doing #include <stdlib.h>
If you want to compile code for a random number generator yourself, you can google for algorithms.

That only works if you want to select a random card.
