📢 **1.2.0 update** (yes, there have been minor updates I didn’t announce)  
Changelog:

- Added new `shuffle` and `toShuffled` methods (certainly not related to [the upcoming jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-20-board-game-jam/29077)) 🤭
- Fixed minor issues and updated dependencies

## Shuffle method

The shuffle method rearranges items in an array in a random order. This method modifies the original array.

```auto
function shuffle(array: any[]): void

```

## To shuffled method

The toShuffled method returns an array copy with items rearranged in a random order. This method does **not** modify the original array.

```auto
function toShuffled(array: any[]): any[]

```

Until next time, peace ✌
