A random number between and including the limits.
random [_] to [_] is a code block part of the Math drawer.
Usage
random [_] to [_] defines the upper and lower bounds of a range from which a random number is generated. The number is generated between and including the set limits.
Syntax
Inputs in this block:
- defines the lower limit
- defines the upper limit for the range of the generated random number.
Common Uses
- The
random [_] to [_]block is most commonly used for random movement. When inserted into a Movements block such as theleft by [_] degscombined with theforward[_]block, an agent will wander throughout Spaceland in a random direction.
Example
One of the most common uses of the ‘random to’ block is for random movement. As shown above, creating a random turn, and combining that with a forward block, allows an agent to wander throughout spaceland in a random direction.
