Random number generator in Thyme

[hpstricker]

Is there a way to generate random numbers in Thyme?

[Kilinich]

rand.boolean
rand.direction2D
rand.normal
rand.normal2D
rand.uniform01

I am really sorry for bumping this post, I know nobody likes bumping post, but can someone please explain how these five functions work?

Rand.uniform01 generates a random number between 0 and 1. You can manipulate the result to create any number range you want such as:

Rand.uniform01*10-5 for all numbers from -5 to +5

Rand.normal generates numbers in a normal distribution, i.e as if you were throwing darts at a target. Near the center (zero) the propability is the highest, the further away you go (positive and negative direction), the lower it drops(at roughly 6 its low enough to be assumed zero chance)

Rand.normal2D is rand.normal but this in 2D coordinates around [0,0]

rand.boolean is a random yes/no result

Rand.direction2D results in a vector (a [x,y] number] that's always a random point on a circle with radius one around [0,0]

Oh yeah, thanks for replying, that's enlightening. I thought that this forum is no longer active. Thanks!
