Randomization

Like flipping a coin, or throwing a dice.

Randomization is the process of making something random. Randomization is not haphazard; instead, a random process is a sequence of random variables describing a process whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions.

Flipping a coin


            // flipping a coin (pick a color)
            if (p.random(1, 10) > 5) {
              p.fill('white');
            } else {
              p.fill('blue');
            }

Throwing dice


            // throwing dice (pick a shape)
            const dice = p.int(p.floor(p.random(1, 7)));
            switch (dice) {
              case 1:
                p.letterM(x, y);
                break;
              case 2:
                p.letterO(x, y);
                break;
              case 3:
                p.letterN(x, y);
                break;
              case 4:
                p.letterOo(x, y);
                break;
              default:
              // silence, silencio
            }
