G’day from Australia.
I have just downloaded the Ipad version for Ready Maker, and it looks as though it is a great program.
I do have a question please.
In extremely simply terms could you explain how the random number generator works.
As in introduction to the random number generator, I would like to
- Display a stationary object on the screen.
2. Click on object.
3. Choose a random number.
4. Move object random number of pixels (is it possible to move in pixels?), in a random direction.
5. .Wrap around screen if necessary.
loop back to step 2.
Would it be possible for some kind soul to do this for me and show me a screen dump?
Thank you for your assistance and hooroo for now.
Paul.

Good day from Arkansas!
Welcome to the Ready community Paul! Glad to have you here.
From what you’ve asked, I have done this:
I placed a simple circle onto the scene
This will be our stationary object for this example. Then I added a random number behavior to the circle
In the event section, I did this to code the object to choose a random number once it is clicked. When it generates a certain number, it will move a certain direction. I gave 2 different examples: if it generates a 1 or a 2
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or there’s something I missed, definitely let me know!

Hey there.
Thank you SOOOO much for taking the time to explain how random numbers work. I also had a quick look at the video link you gave me.
When you posted it was 12.15 am Monday in Melbourne, South East Australia. I guess it would have been quite late where you are
Best wishes in your studies and in your programming.
I am sure I will be back to ask some more questions.
seeya.

Oh no, it was 9pm (21:00) when I posted- but I do indeed stay up VERY late every night
I’m glad I could help! Thank you for your support as well, I really appreciate it.
If you have any other questions, I’ll be more than happy to help!
