Hello, I am trying to figure out how to implement a small project. I have the control logic figured out I am just new to android development to have a full handle on the task at hand. I have essentially a 5x4 matrix of buttons that I want to at random light up in a randomized time between 6 and 30 seconds between light up.. The person needs to push the button back in to reset it before 5 seconds or a small red X appears over the button. If the person misses more than 3 times the screen flashes red for a second before resetting the red Xs and the count starts over. There is also a reset button that will reset the counts and start over again and a exit button that will bring up a results page that has how many hits and misses and elapsed time. It should also create a small graph that shows the % correct over time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Well I figured out the XML part and that is mostly working. Having some small troubles with custom buttons but I can deal with that later. This question revolves around using the java math random function. I am trying to create two discrete random events, however from what I understand about the random function I have to use an initial seed value of say 5. If my range is 1 to 24 I do not want to have 5 be the first value every time I start the application. So my question is, can I make say 3 random functions that trigger after each other and use those values as my initial seed value in the random number I want for the first event to trigger? For example: Random #1 has a seed value of 5. Once that triggers the number that is output is the seed variable of Random #2. Then Random #3 uses the value generated from Random #2 as its seed value to get me a actual random number. Does that make sense or am I overly complicating it? Here is some code to hopefully help: [HIGH] public class randomgen{ public static void main(String[] args){ Random rand = new Random(); int num1 = rand.nextInt(24); System.out.println("Generated Random Number between 0 to 24 is : " + num1); int num2 = rand.nextInt(num1); System.out.println("Generated Random Number from seed 1 is : " + num2); int num3 = rand.nextInt(num2); System.out.println("Generated Random Number from seed 2 is : " + num3); } } [/HIGH]
