Randomization

[born130]

From my earlier topic

I just wanted to know how i could randomize each of left, right, up, down
so that i would not have to make screen after screen.

Thanks

not shure what you whont to randomize, but you could make a fuction that picks a random number from one to max # of posaibliteys and then uses ifs or a case thingy for each number to do somting.

random code:

randint ( var i : int, low, high : int )

also need to use randomize at beging of progame so you dont get same random numbers.

Ex of random code:

code:

randomize var roll : int var i:int loop     randint ( i, 1, 6 )     put "Rolled ", i end loop

basically i just want it to randomize

three moves out of four

i.e. out of up left right down it would choose 3 of them in a random order

so run a loop, and mark those picked, then next time randomly pick from those left (or keep on picking untill you end up with one that is not marked yet)

basicly what u do is randomly choose one key that u don't want and just keep the rest, here's the code

code:

var keys:array 1..4 of int:=init(200,203,205,208) var unwantedkey:=keys(Rand.Int(1,4)) var count:=0 var finalkeys:array 1..3 of int for i:1..4 count+=1 if keys(count)not=unwantedkey then finalkeys(count):=keys else count+=1 end if end for
