JavaScript: Do I need a recursive function to solve this problem? -

-

in fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/5l8q8/28/, if click black button, randomly selects 1 of 2 values (red or blue) array. randomly selected value assigned ran. in real life application, there 16 elements in array.

if pink "playagain" button, chooses random element same array want make sure it's not same 1 chosen last time.

therefore, when click playagain, assign ran lastran , compare next randomly chosen value array and, if same, choose randomly again. however, way have isn't guaranteeing (upon completion of playagain) ran different.

i think need recursive function comment 2 in code below, keep breaking code when try create it.

can comment on 3 comments in code below?

note, i'm relative newbie, code awful...

$("#playagain").click(function(){     lastran = ran;        ran = getrandom(myarray, true);      if (ran === lastran) {           ran = getrandom(myarray, true); //1. need return this?             //2. want test ran === lastran again.. how set recursive function?      } else {         return; //3.is right thing here?     }    });

you can use while loop instead of if.

while(ran == lastran) {   ran = getrandom(myarray, true); }

it'll keep trying until gets different value.

i got following problem: i have object called tempscore game. this object blitted canvas renderer via copypixels method. object not display object. it's score-object (self made). score-object extends object called basicblitarrayobject. basicblitarrayobject extends eventdispatcher (therefore no display object). i tried apply several different tweenlite-plugins tempscore-object (i.e. transformaroundcenter, colormatrixfilter, etc.). nothing happens. absolutely nothing. sometimes error messages (when plugin requires display object , object not display object). far good. according greensock (maker of tweenlite) engine can tween numeric property of object. when plugin transformaroundcenter requires display object tweening have modify plugin working non-display object (tempscore). can't because it's way hard me. my game rests upon code: http://www.8bitrocket.com/book/ch11_blastermines.zip try apply tweenlite object called tempmine inside game class blastermines. ...
