RESOLVED Random tile not working properly

[Shadow72 187]

If you use the random tile to generate a random number between 2 values it will never be the max. For instance if you use random to create a number between 1 and 3 it will only generate random numbers between 1 and 2.

 

Current workaround is adding + 1 to your max value.

Hmm, I just saw that. It's still kinda confusing why they wouldn't have the random number include the max.

I never had problems with the maximum value? but it may be the one that appears the least, the random number can have a strange structure, if it is used at the beginning of the game the value that appears will depend on the time it takes to work, also the central value of the two established will be the one that appears the most. For example, if you put between 0 and 10, 5 will be the value that will appear more easily, to obtain a more random probability it is better to combine 2 or 3 of them or leave higher margins to increase the possibilities

yes definitely, although this is quite a common occurence in coding. Furthermore, the random 0-1 tile doesn't have this limitation.
