Scripting

Over the past week ive been developing and refining my project. I had finally decided to create a random still life generator. I have 7 or 8 objects on the screen that will randomly change position based on a random integer assigned to a variable. The objects are only randomly changing their x-coordinate on the plane; they do not change their y-coordinate at all because that type of project would include many many lines of advanced scripting that i dont think i am ready for yet. The scripting involved in this project could be considered minimal to scripting in some other projects ive seen so far, but one has to start somewhere. I have gathered an enormous amount of information with will be valuable for future projects. One of these skills is the knowing how to assign random numbers to a place holder then using the number in that place holder later on in the project. I am pretty satisfied with the progress ive made on this project and i believe it looks pretty good. If i knew more about scripting i might have been able to do a little more with it, but i think for the first project that really involves more than 20 lines of scripting, it's not bad at all.
