Hi all
I've got a teacher making games using Flash MX, and he asked me if I had
any code for generating an array with the numbers 1 thru 4 in a random
order. It's used to place Flash objects in random locations when the
student loads the game. As it turns out, I had exactly the code he needs,
but Flash Actionscript appears to be either C or C++. Is there a scripting
guru out there who can translate this for me?
<code>
#!c:/perl/bin
@array=(1,2,3,4);
$times=int(rand 49)+1;
while ($times<50){
$a=int(rand 3);
$b=$array[$a];
splice(@array, $a, 1);
unshift(@array,$b);
#print "$times\n";
$times++;
}
foreach $stuff (@array){
print $stuff;
print "\n";
}
</code>
