Randomize
Randomization is useful for adding variations to the experience that produce a much organic feel. Adding randonmess to what and when can also make an interactive experience unpredictable and add a surprise element. Adobe help with math, HERE
Math.random()
Generates
a random number >=0 and <1 (so 1 can never be its value)
You can also use it as en expression to generate a number within any range:
Math.random() * (max of the range - min of the range) + min of range
| Math.random() * (11-5) + 5 | Will generate a random number bettwen 5 and 11. |
| Math.random() * 20 | Will generate a random number between 0 and 20 |
| Math.round(Math.random()*80) | Will generate a random number between 1 and 80 |
| x=10+Math.floor(Math.random()*6) | Find a random integer between 10 and 15, inclusive |
x=high + Math.floor(Math.random() * (high-low+1) );
To configure a number to randomly fall within a range of numbers, use the following format:
Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+High - Low) + Low;
| Math.floor(Math.random() * (41 + 10); | High refers to the largest number in your range, and Low refers to the lowest number in your range. As an example how to get a number between 10 and 50. 41 is the result of (1+(50-10) |
| Public static functions | Math.floor rounds down to the nearest integer (positive or negative number) Math.round rounds up to the nearest integer |
Simple use on a timeline:
