Shuffle Algorithm

[Artimes]

I need an algorithm that takes my 2d array (1..4, 1..4) and gives each coord (the first array in the 2d is the x, the second is the y) a number from 1 through 16. Each number must be used only once.

Thanks

n = y*4 + x

Wouldn't that give me the same output every time?

code:

for y:0..3     for x:0..3        array (x,y):=(y*4+x) + 1     end for end for

Yes it would, I don't know what these people are talking about.

First go through and assign them normal values, in order 1 - 16 then,
go through the two degrees in nested for loops. In these loops pick a random numer between 1 and 16 and swap the given element with the random one.

Thanks GlobeTrotter, I got it workin'!
