I am trying to help a student who is creating an app to display names from a list in random order each time a button is pressed. She plays softball and would like to use it for assigning positions during innings. She would like to keep the list intact with each press, but also be able to adjust it based on who is present for that game. She has a basic understanding of lists, but currently she is getting frequent repeats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As a coach I see a value in this!
- Do the tutorials with respect to Lists
. List Blocks On App Inventor | imagnity
. List Sorting On App Inventor | imagnity
. Shuffle Lists & Unique Random Numbers | imagnity
. http://www.appinventor.org/bookChapters/chapter19.pdf
. MIT App Inventor List Blocks
. there are other tutorials find them by googling Lists App Inventor - Experiment with simple lists. Don't just read the tutorials, do the examples and learn
- Share her Blocks with the forum and ask specific questions
- Be aware Lists work very well with Android however the App Inventor ios version still has issues so if she is using ios be careful.
Can she create an app as you describe. Sure, one step at a time.
