Random Direction
Hi,
I'm looking for an easy, effective way of choosing a RANDOM direction (90, -90, 180, or 0). I'm presuming you'd have to assign a random number to a variable, then set direction to the variable, but I'm not entirely sure how to assign random numbers out of four choices.
HELP ME!

Re: Random Direction
By RANDOM, I mean 'So that I don't set it'.

Re: Random Direction
How about this?
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<point in direction( (( <pick random( 0 )to( 3 <*> 90 ))
<move( 100 )steps>
[/blocks]
Remember that 3*90 = 270 is the same direction as -90.
