Copying randomly selected pictures

[Captain825]

Hi

I have a 10 by 10 tile area and I populate the tiles with pictures that are randomly selected from an area outside of the play area.

I'm making a matching game so I need a copy of that randomly generated picture to also be placed in another randomly selected place holder within the same grid so the user can find the matches, but I'm having trouble getting there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Adrian

The way I would go about doing it is to create a number array 10 x 10 in size. By default this array will be filled with 0's when created. You fill each cell of the array with a number, which will correspond to a certain tile.
1 could equal a fire tile, 2 could equal the dragon tile, etc.
Then start a loop to go through the array and fill each cell with a random tile.
There are many ways you can keep track of which tiles have been placed. A simple way would be to have a list object store all your tile numbers twice to begin with. Then start a loop 100 times and each time pick a random number out of the list and add it to your array. Make sure you delete the number from the list!

There are plenty of other ways too, this should just give you an idea to get you started!

The Random Pool object could be used too. Fill it with the numbers 0-99. Then for each picture, set an alterable value to a random number from the pool divided by 2 (integer division). After that you can load each picture according to its alterable value (0.png-49.png). Or set its frame index to its alterable value.

Yup, you could do it like that too. As I mentioned there are many ways to do it.
P.S Hows Dringletopia Ai project going?
