Okay, gather 'round everyone! This handler makes a list of numbers in
random order.
on makeRandomList passedNumber
global gRandomList
set gRandomList to []
repeat with x = 1 to passedNumber
addAt(gRandomList, Random(x), x)
end repeat
end makeRandomList
Clean and simple. Then all you need call is:
makeRandomList 5
and you'll get something like this:
[3, 1, 4, 2, 5]
The secret is that you repeat with the known numbers (1 - 5), and what
you randomize is the placement of those numbers within the list. Enjoy!
