I am trying to randomize my level with the placement enemies, but when I use random.random() the whole thing, doesn’t crash but is messed up.
It obviously won’t work because that’s not Python. Coffeescript is really a simplified version of JS, and both CS and JS use Math.random() to generate a random number 0 <= x < 1.0.
Oh. Thanks for pointing that out.
CodeCombat uses a seeded random number generator, which I would suggest using instead. The methods are defined here.
Seeded as in the same results are produced from the same seed, allowing the exact same pseudo-random positions to be generated multiple times if you want to repeat a game exactly.
e.g. this.world.rand.randf().

Good point. Seeded RNG must be used for levels(ie. Kithgard Mastery) where playback is disabled. For forest levels and above, the differences are less important as players are given a different seed once they press submit. But usually any RNG that affects the visual-aspect should be done using seeded RNG. (For the sake of units not flying around every time users run the level)
