How to create a random number over and over

netrate

I set up a random number generator in the SETUP function, but that means it is only picking one random number. How do I get it to pick a second and a third random number etc. When I put the RANDOM in DRAW, it very quickly picked random numbers (forever in a loop). What I am trying to accomplish is getting an ellipse to move from one side of the screen to the other, each time starting at a different "y" position. So if the first time it starts at y=30, x=0 and the ellipse moves from one side of the screen to the other, the next time it will pick a different random number (example y=100, x=0) and start at 0 and move from one side of the screen to the other etc.

Again, nevermind. I figured it out. I had to put the random number in an conditional so that it would only pick the new random number once it reached the edge.

If you want the ellipse to go from one side to the other sequentially, without choosing a random position behind itself you should use a loop. Can you post your code so I can try to understand more clearly what you are trying to accomplish.

Rather than just using words, a code sample would help out a lot! :-\"

I am wondering if a moderator would take all of my posts and combine it into one project post since this all deals with the same project, just with different parts?
