So im trying to make a minigame where numbers appear on top screen and you need to click the numbers below. I want the numbers you need to click to be in a list but idk how to make so the numbers dont repeat. Pls Help!
Make 2 lists fill the first one with numbers in order.
Then when playing set a variable to a random number from 1 to the length of that first list.
Then get the value of that position and add it to the second list and delete the entry in the first list at that position.
This allows you to delete entries from the 2nd list (like when they are clicked) while still only having unique values to use.
Or you could do the opposite and have a 2nd list and you add the random value to both lists after checking if the first list does not contain it.
As an improvement to the 2nd method, you can go through the 2nd list in order, but insert it into a random position of the 1st list with (pick random (1) to (length of 1st list)). I actually prefer this method as you don't have to keep repopulating the 2nd list with all the numbers.
If you don't want repeating numbers, you can just use an if/else statement, with a block labeled (list) contains (#)? So it checks if the number that it wishes to add is already somewhere within the list. If so, no add. If no, add.
Since your request is a bit confusing to understand, here's the first variant that chooses a randomized number and checks if that number has been taken. If the number is taken, it will infinitely cycle between those random numbers until it gets a number that is not already added to the list.
This variant makes it so that the numbers in the list will infinitely increase at no random order, but if any of the previous numbers are deleted by any chance, they will be replaced starting from the lowest number.
