The random numbers generated are deterministic, t

Not only I’m bad at math, I don’t even remember the answers to my own questions

Ah, that explains it. Thanks a lot Alan!

Hi Thomas,
One way is to increase the « degree of randomness » by saying
withcolor transparent (1,0.3,mycolor[round(uniformdeviate(10*i)/10)])
or you can define a RandomColor as below:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{colortest}
save mycolor ; color mycolor[] ;
mycolor[1] := (0.07, 0.21, 0.65) ;
myc
mycolor[1 + round (uniformdeviate 2)]
(or define mycolor[0]-mycolor[2], in which case you can drop the "1 +")
uniformdeviate returns a random number between zero and the value of
the argument. So you do not want (uniformdeviate i).

Hi all,
I would like to have mp choose a (transparent) color randomly from a predefined
list. My naive approach was (let’s restrict it to three colors):
\startuniqueMPgraphic{colortest}
save mycolor ; color mycolor[] ;
mycolor[1] := (0.07, 0.21, 0.65) ;
mycolor[2] := (0.6, 0.6, 0.4) ;
mycolor[3]
