create an array, use a for loop to load in the images, and then use a random number generator modded by the size of the array to get a random image. (if you want it to roll you should just have them move really quickly past the screen, and then have them roll for a bit more once the user clicks the button)

The interesting thing about images is that they're integers, so you can just create an array of integers and assign pictures to them. Have you ever tried working with pictures before?

I have not taken a look at that link yet but, I was thinking what if i made a string array. and within the string array it was the name of the picture files, so that when it gets pulled out i can then set a new image icon to the index and it would point to that image.... if you understand what i am saying ??
Example
----------
lblWhatEver[5].setIcon(new imageIcon(picArray[index]); ???
soo. The label is out of an array of 5, and which ever string gets picked than set that name to the pic that i want>

no that's actually @Raknarg's fault. This is the Java section, we should assume it's java. You can do a similar thing in java though, just have an array of imageIcon's. My Java is rusty but I believe it'd be like:
code:

ImageIcon[] imageIcons=new ImageIcon[arraySize];

assuming ImageIcon is the class your using and arraySize is the number of pictures there are. Then do something like:
code:

for(int i=0;i<imageSize;i++){
     imageIcons[i]=new ImageIcon("icon"+i+".png");
}

assuming your files are called icon1.png,icon2.png etc

Indeed interesting.
Using this, everything and anything is an integer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godel_numbering

EDIT: forum doesn't like unicode so I edited the article URL accordingly

Sorry about that. I guess the Internet already has too many of these, eh. There are some irc channels and newsgroups I know of that always tend to get pedantic / debate over semantics for no reason. Confused

I do think Godel numbering is an interesting subject though.

It actually is Razz The only reason I suggested that is cause I thought we were talking about turing XD
