[Flashcoders] Algorithm ideas

2012-03-05 Thread Paul Andrews 
Lets imagine I have 100 sprites scattered around the stage - no regular 
pattern, but generally spread evenly.


My task is to remove 40 of them. That's easy, but I want to remove them 
as evenly as possible, so the density thins but is reasonably consistent 
across the stage.


Any ideas? I don't know if there is a standard algorithm for this.

No worries - I worked it out. Should have had some thinking time before 
posting.
