Randomize

[Mystique]

Okay, I have tried long and hard at this and have given up and now seek ur help

I want the "moles", which I have drawn on Turing to appear randomly on the screen, but on the same spot. So, there are 5 holes and 5 different moles, and from each of them I want them to appear randomly, and sometimes even two or more at a time ( so basically, i want it just like an actual whack- a-mole game) I have tried the following:

code:

loop     background     randint (e, 200, 500)     randint (f, 200, 500)     mole1     delay (e)     delay (f)     background     randint (c, 300, 1000)     randint (d, 300, 1000)     mole2     delay (c)     delay (d)

but this obviously is not random. Can someone plz help me?

I'd do something like this..

code:

var moleX : array 1 .. 5 of int var moleY : array 1 .. 5 of int var num : int moleX(1) := % first mole x position moleY(1) := % first mole y position moleX(2) := % second mole x position moleY(2) := % second mole y position moleX(3) := % third mole x position moleY(3) := % third mole y position moleX(4) := % fourth mole x position moleY(4) := % fourth mole y position moleX(5) := % fifth mole x position moleY(5) := % fifth mole y position loop num := Rand.Int (1,5) drawmolex(num) % drawmoley(num) % Draw the mole delay(#) end loop

im down with that.

I tried it and i get an error message saying:

Illegal picture ID number.

It means Turing did not properly load up the images. Make sure that your images are in the same folder as your code.

Yo, post all your code so we can see whats going on.

the moles are in the program itself, in procedures. Here was what i was doing originally:

code:

var a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j : int proc background     drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 68)     %Top holes     drawfilloval (280, 310, 75, 55, black)              %hole #1     drawfilloval (510, 310, 75, 55, black)              %hole #2     %Bottom holes     drawfilloval (175, 150, 75, 55, black)              %hole #1     drawfilloval (400, 150, 75, 55, black)              %hole #2     drawfilloval (620, 150, 75, 55, black)              %hole #3. end background proc mole1     drawfilloval (175, 145, 50, 50, 53)               %body end mole1 proc mole2     drawfilloval (400, 145, 50, 50, 53)               %body end mole2 proc mole3     drawfilloval (620, 145, 50, 50, 53)               %body end mole3 proc mole4     drawfilloval (510, 305, 50, 50, 53)               %body end mole4 proc mole5     drawfilloval (280, 305, 50, 50, 53)               %body end mole5 loop     background     randint (e, 200, 500)     randint (f, 200, 500)     mole3     delay (e)     delay (f)     background     randint (a, 500, 2000)              randint (b, 500, 2000)              mole1     mole2     delay (a)     delay (b)     background     randint (g, 70, 900)     randint (h, 70, 900)     mole4     mole5     delay (g)     delay (h)     background     randint (c, 300, 1000)     randint (d, 300, 1000)     mole2     delay (c)     delay (d)     background     randint (i, 300, 1000)     randint (j, 300, 1000)     mole5     delay (i)     delay (j) end loop
