TCG Loot Code Generation
This question could have been under either the Items or Programs topics, but since it mainly pertains to items, here we go:
Are the TCG loot codes generated like cd keys and time cards? Or is it possible to create a code generator for these items?

They are just like the cd keys and time cards. A random code is generated and then added to blizzard's database, so it's impossible to generate working codes as there is no algorithm for it.

Very well then, hopefully people will perform forum searches to find this answer in the future

But for a game card Wal-mart has stacks of them sitting. If you got lucky playing with random numbers and you could type in one of the cards that weren't used yet? Wouldn't it be the same for a tiger?
Idk if my response was useless.. but that's how I look at it.

I don't think they get activated until it's scanned through their tills, I believe that's how it works.

there must be algorithm for those codes, just like the chinese found the algorithm of the authenticator just need to figure it out... BUT blizzard could use random objects generator which actually take numbers from objects in space which is not possible to make algorithm for that

Apoc was working on a generator, and collecting hundreds of used codes to try and work out the pattern. I don't know how far he got with that project, but I seem to recall one key being generated successfully but others being a failure. It was a while ago.

to much risky for a so lower price , is imposible to generate timecard codes in my opinion..

True story however it does continue, Apoc's generator had spawned multiple working keys, and thus he stopped research.

Once I spammed a random key into battle net to unlock LK expansion on my second account and it worked, it was pure luck. I felt kinda bad for the guy who had that code I randomly guessed though...

there are no random numbers in IT, it's a fact =)
