Scripting randomness
Is there anyway to make a script with a legitimately random outcome? Like, random in that there are a number of possible outcomes that you set up and the one that returns is determined by chance?
If we don't change the direction we're going, we'll likely end up where we're headed.

Re: Scripting randomness
int i = 1;
max_i = 10;
void random_gen() {
i = i+1;
if(i > max_i) i = 1;
sleep 1;
fork random_gen
}

Re: Scripting randomness
In truth, no, there is no random() function in BSL, Leus. There should be, but there isn't. Oni's engine randomizes some things, but there's no facility for it in BSL. Gumby's function simply loops a number from 1-10 infinitely. This can be used to simulate randomness sometimes.

This is getting very off-topic, but yes.

Re: Scripting randomness
I would hypothetically make good use of that function. 
If we don't change the direction we're going, we'll likely end up where we're headed.
