Hi, I'm still working on games using Z game editor . I've recently upgraded to the newest version, but I am still going to finish my old projects using the versions they were made with originally.
Anyhow, I'm interested in learning how to populate an array with a random sequence of numbers, but importantly I don't want it to repeat any of the same numbers twice.
I was wondering if someone could show me how to write a small piece of code that would perform this function. It would help me alot and I would greatly appreciate it!!

Hi jinxtengu,
K
There are quite a few ways to do that, but here's one simple approach:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2">
<OnLoaded>
<ZExpression>
<Expression>
<![CDATA[//
int[10] numbers;
// Fill array with sequential values
for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
numbers[i] = i;
}
// Shuffle values around
for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
int b = rnd()*10;
int c = numbers[i];
numbers[i] = numbers[b];
numbers[b] = c;
}
// Output values
Print.Text = "";
for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
Print.Text += intToStr(numbers[i]);
}]]>
</Expression>
</ZExpression>
</OnLoaded>
<OnRender>
<RenderText Name="Print" Text="2857306149"/>
</OnRender>
</ZApplication>
