6 Sprite in 6 random positions

Hello,

I have 1 newbie question:

There are 6 positions and 6 different colors cards.

I want every time when launch the game each card to be placed in different position (random).

And how then i can get which card which position is?

Using variable or?

Make the empty grid an array. On start of layout, fill the array with numbers 1 - 6 in a random order (not sure how do do this off the top of my head.)

If you are not familiar with arrays, there is a nice tutorial for it in the tutorials section (you will need to be familiar with loops to fill the array).

Now, it is easy to get which card is at which position. use the command array.at(x,y).

A rule of thumb to help you: when you have a grid, more often than not you will want an array.

OK , I did this:

Online Demo:

But i have 2 Questions:

1. How i can make 10 random generated numbers from 1 to 10

without [Plugin] RandomArray?

http://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-randomarray_topic45277.html

Example: 7,8,5,9,1,3,10,2,4,6.

2. How i can optimize my code? Now is 100+ code lines for 10 random

cards... this is insane.

My CAPX file:

(You need [Plugin] RandomArray to start file!)

I wouldn't use a different object type for each card. You should just need two. One for the positions and on with all the different cards as animation frames.

Then it can be done simply with two events:

You can then pick a card at say position 6 with two conditions:

Sprite: instance variable position=4

Pick Card by UID: Sprite.card

Hi,

perhaps this helps

scramble cards

haven't seen, that the solution above is better

How do you always have 2 identical cards by color:

2 red 2 yellow 2 green... which line of code is this?

Can you explain this: loopindex % 5 ?

Interesting example.

Thanks for answers!

The % symbol gives the remainder of a division.

So with loopindex % 5 you get:

0 % 5 => 0

1 % 5 => 1

2 % 5 => 2

3 % 5 => 3

4 % 5 => 4

5 % 5 => 0

6 % 5 => 1

7 % 5 => 2

8 % 5 => 3

9 % 5 => 4

so each frame each animation frame is used twice.

This is my little progress (maybe):

Please, tell me - can i optimize my code?

Please, tell me - if you find any "bug"?

P.S. This is my first test game with Construct 2.

I am 100% sure, i miss many things.

Dude... I can't read your variable name, write your capx in english and put some comments. It's easier if you really want help.

hi

i want to ask something, its simillar to Theone66 question,but my object was text,

there is a text that i clone to 3 different text, the problem with that is , the random text can only 1 text, the other 2 wasn't random

for example i have "bubu", "bibi" , "bobo". but only "bubu" that shown.

this is the result
