How to end a math.random

[IcE Sparkz]

Hey there guys and gals! I am wondering if anyone has a custom function or something to end a math.random function, I am currently in development of a platformer game which I am required to put a math.random in a love.graphics.rectangle() module. I am trying to get them to move at different speeds and I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

You use a variable. Instead of something like this:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.rectangle('fill', love.math.random(0, 128), 256, 64, 64)
end

Which will draw the rectangle in a new position every frame,
you do this:

Code: Select all

local xval = love.math.random(0, 128)

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.rectangle('fill', xval, 256, 64, 64)
end

Which will assign a random value to xval once and then draw the rectangle at the exact same position every frame.
