Like the title says, I’m using JavaScript to build a Discord bot that just handles picking players in a Truth or Dare game. The bot itself functions fine, but it fails to shuffle the players again at the end of a round.
This is my shuffle function
function shuffle(array) {
var currentIndex = ping.length -1, temporaryValue, randomIndex
array[0]=0
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
array[currentIndex] = currentIndex;
currentIndex -= 1;
}
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
console.log(xrandomindex)
}
function shuffleassign(array) {
var currentIndex = array.length -1, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
randomIndex = xrandomindex[currentIndex];
currentIndex -= 1;
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
}
And here it is in play
else if(message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}n`))
if (count > 1)
{if (countgame == count -1 ) {
message.channel.send("The queue is being shuffled.")
shuffle(xrandomindex)
shuffleassign(ping)
shuffleassign(users)
countgame = 0 }
message.channel.send ((ping)[countgame] + " is currently asking " + (ping)[countgame + 1] )
countgame = countgame +1
msg = count - countgame
}
else message.channel.send("Too few players to start the game.")
You can shuffle items on the array using this function. You can utilize any value. Have not tested if the players need to have a unique identifier.
function shuffle(array) {
let currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
// Continue to shuffle while there are items on the index
while (0 !== currentIndex) {
// Pick one of the remaining elements
randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
currentIndex -= 1;
// Swap it with the current element
temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
}
return array;
}
// Used like so
const arr = ['bob', 'billy', 'tom', 'susan'];
shuffle(arr);
console.log(arr);
