How do I write the Logic to have the computer pick 3 color images?

Hello Form:

I have a query referring to random image selection.

The computer logic is tasked with picking 3 color images: Red Blue and White.

Three images have to be chosen but the Red image needs to be in EACH group.

Example: Red Green Pink

Purple Red Yellow

Orange Brown Red

It does not matter where the Red image is positioned just that the Red Image appears in each group.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

If it doesn't matter where Red is then you can start with Red and pick 2 other colours right? The problem here is not picking the same one twice which I usually resolve with an array. You can push all colours into an array and select one at random, then delete the row so it's not picked again. Then select another one at random.

Thanks for the REply. I'm making a Game for Autistic Children wherein they try to find the image (out of a set of Three images) that has Red in it. The Game would work better if the Red image would move like this:

Red Blue Green

Pink Yellow Red

Brown Red Gray

As opposed to Red White Orange

Red Green Blue

Red Violet Teal

The array sounds good. I just need to find a way to make sure the Red image is always included in every group of three images

Cool, so it does kind of matter where the Red is then :P You can combine some kind of logic. choose(0,1,2) would give you a random selection to give to Red. if Red is 1 then it appears in the middle for example. You can combine that with a function or loop that you run with a counter that repeats 3 times. So a global variable set to choose(1,2,3) with a separate counter from 1 to 3, if counter = gv, then add Red, else pick a random colour from the array.

Maybe look something like :

set gv to choose(0,1,2)

for (loop) 0 to 2,

if loopindex = gv add "Red"

else, run the search through array for a random colour

output would be 3 colours, none the same, with red included at a chosen position (the global variable)

Thanks for your assistance.

Solved.

I use 2 arrays (One with all Red images = One with all the other Color Images). This way I can get a Red Image in Every 3 Image set. This works.
