A blocks extension for fast random! So you can have seeding and separate RNGs for different elements of your games!

Shortened the blocks: (because we all hate really long block statements. Or at least I do) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b9dce5030e566eebdbd27961763a04a2c5f30526.png) ---

To import an extension: 1. Expand the `Advanced` tab: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e54c6cb05c4108cd1f8d2bfbf319df20993421ab.png) 2. Click on `Extensions` at the very bottom: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/1/13f73150d7a3bf913f2e487cebfc45bc0131e74e.png) 3. At the very top of the screen you should see that: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/2017b5e898b199bd20eb9963a3a080dc4e95c8da.png) 4. When you want to download an extension but only a link is provided, paste that link in. For @richard’s character extension, it is [https://github.com/riknoll/character-animations](https://github.com/riknoll/character-animations). For @felixtsu’s lantern extension, it is [https://github.com/felixtsu/pxt-lantern](https://github.com/felixtsu/pxt-lantern). I don’t understand by what you mean Word extension??? 5. If you paste in one of the links and press Enter, then a box should pop up: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/5/5c7b73c657b5c3f464e12815c0d8d52dd2167b2c.png) 6. Click on the box. Then in the toolbox it will show up! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b19cb3721d78bd2b36e6ecf377919c8d4784d64a.png) * * * **SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION** I have written down all the links to these useful extensions and more [here](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions). 😉 ---

Ah, I wouldn’t use that extension. I would use the text sprite extension instead which is “verified” and can do the same things and more. You can change the text as much as you want and there can be outlines, etc. ---
