10 — Random: dice and picks

Games need surprises. NME bundles a random helper that Python provides, loaded with one use line.

#Steps

1. Create dice.nme:

   use random latest
   set die to random number from 1 to 6
   show die
   

   copyrun it →

   Run it a few times: die is a random whole number from 1 to 6.

2. Picking one of several choices works the same way:

   use random latest
   set color to pick from red or green or blue
   show color
   

   copyrun it →

3. Korean loads the helper with 랜덤 사용 최신 and uses sentence endings:

   랜덤 사용 최신
   주사위는 1부터 6까지 랜덤정수
   주사위 보여줘
   색은 빨강 또는 초록 또는 파랑 중에서 랜덤선택
   색 보여줘
   

   copyrun it →

4. The helper names work in expressions too: 랜덤정수(a, b) is a random number and 랜덤선택(values) picks from a list.

   use random latest
   set roll to random number from 1 to 6
   show roll
   

   copyrun it →

#Try it yourself

Roll two dice and show both:

use random latest
set first to random number from 1 to 6
set second to random number from 1 to 6
show first
show second
