Don’t worry! I am actually Austrian so my English is also not the best… Anyway So you want 5 randomly placed dots!? They replace on a interaction!? If I got that right? ---

The glitch thig it does is just if 2 dots overlap so it will change positions until all 5 dots do not overlap! press A, B, A+B or shake to change! > **[Random Position 5 dots](https://makecode.microbit.org/48695-58462-97588-66305)** > > Erstellt mit ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit. ---
