Ok...this is getting out of hand.


THE IRANDOM FUNCTION IS SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE A RANDOM NUMBER. I HAVE TWO VERSIONS OF THE FUNCTION WHICH BOTH STATE THAT THE INSTANCE "oRocks" CAN BE PLACED IN ANYPLACE WITHIN THE GAME'S BOUNDARIES, ITS HEIGHT AND WIDTH (1366 x 768) but every single time i start the game, the supposed "random rock placement" happens and it goes in the same places. This has happened for years to me and I want to know if anyone else has problems with the irandom function or just has gamemaker-caused problems anyways (not the code you wrote's fault).
Since there is a 1366 x 768 resolution (or 16:9) that means that there are 1049088 possible positions for the rock instances.

Calculator Result

1366 x 768 =

1049088

And moreover, since there is 9 different rock sprites, there is only a 1/9441792 that the irandom function makes them move in those positions, with those sprites. Here are the probabilities after different trials:

one trial: meh (could happen)

two trials: 1 in 9441792

three trials: 1 in 8.9147436e+13

and so forth

i don't know why this is happening.

MRBEAST IS LITERALLY A SUPERVILLAIN! You cannot tell me this man is not on his villain arc.

Does anyone see a difference? (Snow white)

I'm sorry about this one. You're gonna have to do it.

Game update coming soon! Also, sorry I haven't really been posting or updating anything. Just been very busy and stressed out. Here is something that helped me get through it.

What is your favorite nation / state / county flag? Mine is the flag of Maryland, in the USA.

anyone want to use this tileset? I made it for a game a while ago but I stopped making that game to work on the Underwalk. No credit required.

Happy 4th of July! usa
