You can do this a few ways - generate the complete list & then randomize it,
or check each element against the current contents before adding it. Here's
a simple way:
on buildNonRepeatingRandomList ofHowManyElements
ls = []
repeat while ls.count < ofHowManyElements
rand = random( ofHowManyElements )
if not( ls.getOne( rand )) then
ls.add( rand )
end if
end repeat
return ls
end
Is this what you're wanting? Hope it helps.
