Random menus

[YamJam]

Does anybody know how to make a menu have random options? I’m making a game and part of it needs to have a menu that has random options in it that the code chose from an array or something. (thats how I think it should work)

here you go its simple enough for you to understand how it works

Make an array, put values, and… I’ll show ya!

function createSmallerRandomArray (menuItems: any[], itemCount: number, repeat: boolean) {
    let temporaryArray = menuItems
    let returnedArray = []
    for (let index = 0; index < itemCount; index++) {
        if (temporaryArray.length <= 0) {
            break;
        } else {
            let randomNum = randint(0, temporaryArray.length - 1)
            returnedArray.push(temporaryArray[randomNum])
            if (!(repeat)) {
                temporaryArray.removeAt(randomNum)
            }
        }
    }
    return returnedArray
}

Here’s a function I created for you! It’s customizable by a bit might I add.
For it to work you must install the

riknoll/arcade-mini-menu

extension.

Here’s an example:
