Godot RandUtils

A collection of RNG (Random Number Generator) utilities for the Godot Engine.

Why?

I felt like I was missing RNG utilities while working on my game, so I started working on this addon, and kept adding methods others might need!

Features

This addon provides:

• Random string generation
• Random hex string generation
• Random numeric string generation
• Random boolean with ability to specify probability
• Random normalized Vec2 and Vec3
• Random Color with customizable HSV ranges
• Random item(s) from array
• Random byte(s)

Installation

1. Clone this repository into your project or, alternatively, use git submodule.
2. Enable the addon in the project settings.

Usage

This addon provides a RandUtils class, which contains static methods used to generate data. As the methods are static, you don't have to instantiate the class.

## Returns a boolean based on a probability
static func bool(probability: float = .5) -> bool:

## Returns a normalized Vector2
static func vec2() -> Vector2:

## Returns a normalized Vector3
static func vec3() -> Vector3:

## Returns a random string containing letters with a given length
static func letters(length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string containing numeric characters with a given length
static func numeric(length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string containing hex characters with a given length
static func hex(length: int = 1, uppercase: bool = false, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string containing alphanumeric characters with a given length
static func alphanumeric(length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string containing alphanumeric characters with a given length. Letters are lowercase
static func alphanumeric_simple(length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string containing ASCII characters with a given length.
static func string(length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a random string from a given length and string characters
static func from_string(string, length: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> String:

## Returns a Color instance with randomized properties
static func color(hueMin: float = 0, hueMax: float = 1, saturationMin: float = 0, saturationMax: float = 1, valueMin: float = 0, valueMax: float = 1, alphaMin: float = 1, alphaMax: float = 1) -> Color:

## Returns a random byte (int)
static func byte() -> int:

## Returns a PoolByteArray filled with n random bytes
static func byte_array(size: int = 1) -> PoolByteArray:

## Returns one or multiple random elements from an array
static func from_array(array: Array, num: int = 1, unique: bool = false) -> Array:

Examples

70% probability of having a boolean of value true

RandUtils.bool(.7)

Getting n elements from an array

var array = ["banana", "apple", "cherry", "cat"]
print(RandUtils.from_array(array, 2))

Example output: ["apple", "cat"]
