Problems with script

sealpoint

Scratch didn't behave reliably

The script is simple:

clear
pen down
forever
set pen color to random 1, 200
set xpos to random -280, 280
set ypos to random -180, 180
glide to xpos, ypos

The above script worked for the instructor on windows 7

but all the students had problem - the color is not changing

RUBIXS

the pen color range might be less then or a lot more then 1-200 so it might be changing but you just might not be able to see it.

Well, I'm not sure why it isn't changing but I noticed some other things. Instead of setting x and y variables and then gliding to those variable's positions, try this script instead:

clear
pen down
forever
set pen color to (pick random (1) to (200))
go to x (pick random (-240) to (240)) y (pick random (-180) to (180))

That way, you don't need to glide and you don't need to use any variables. Maybe it will work then. As for the color range, it is 1 to 200. If it still doesn't work, then it's a glitch.

Edit: if you're using Scratch 1.4, try 2.0
Edit: I think I may also know the problem!!! Make sure your pen shade is about 50. If it's 100 it's too bright to see.
