Donkey Kong terrain question

[nram...@ellingtonps.net]

I have a group that is interested in using a donkey kong theme for their two-player game design. I have attached the image that they are using for inspiration. They are wondering if there is a way to randomize the route of the barrels that donkey kong throws. For example, sometimes they might go down the ladder, and other times not.

 

Thank you!

Yes! Use the random block, which gives a number between 1 and whatever you give it. For example,

if <random 2> = <1>

  [go down the ladder]

else

  [go sideways]

Random 2 will give either a 1 or a 2 with equal probability. So random 2 will be equal to 1 about 50% of the time. That means 1/2 the time the code for going down the ladder will run, and 1/2 the time the code for going sideways will run.
