Assignment 4

[bfry]

This assignment was fun and somewhat of a challenge. Everything did what I wanted. I'm getting a better idea of how to write my own methods and implement them with other methods. Also, I become more familiar with the random function.

I do have a question though. How do you randomize a direction? For instance I want a character to only turn either left or right randomly. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks.

Do you know how to get random numbers?

Yes, I know how to get random numbers. I noticed that when I made a variable called direction, it gave me left/right, up/down options. I only want to focus on the left/right but have them chosen at random.

I don't know how to do that.

Think about this.

You can tell alice to turn left 0.5 revs, right?

What if that number was less?

A lot less.

[Mr Kidnapper]

Mr. Kidnapper always just tells people to choose a random number between -0.5 and 0.5 and turn left by that much. If it's negative it turns right.

And the solution is given away.

Thanks, Mr. K, you tactful person you.

Of course! I should have thought in a more simplistic manner. Sometimes it's easy to complicate easy things in programming.

Thank you for the replies.

That's a very clever solution. I would have a hard time figuring that one out myself.
