copied!<p>In your update code, you're checking a single time for a random value to be less than randomChance, and when it is, you spawn 4 apples.</p> <p>If you want them to spawn at different times, you would call them one at a time. I would make a function to create a randomly placed apple, and call that whenever your if statement is satisfied.</p> <p>Eg:</p> <pre><code>private function update(evt:Event){ if(Math.random() < randomValue){ createApple(); } </code></pre> <p>Where createApple() would create a new apple, position it, add it to the array, and add it to the stage.</p> <p>If you're trying to create a different apple each time, you can put the different types in an array and iterate through it as you create new apples.</p> <p>EG.</p> <pre><code>private function createApple(){ ... var newApple = appleToSpawn[currentApple] ... } </code></pre> <p>Where appleToSpawn is an array of apple objects, and currentApple is an index of which apple you're currently on. </p> <p>Alternatively, you could do a series of comparisons to a random number, and spawn a different apple depending on which condition is satisfied.</p> <p>As for making sure they don't overlap, you can keep a history of their spawn points, and change how you get their random X value. Just iterate through the array of previous X values, and make sure the new one isn't within (oldX + (width/2)).</p> <p>Now for spawning more than 4 as you get more points, just change your randomChance to a bigger number as you go. If it's a bigger number, you'll satisfy your conditional statement more often, therefor spawning more apples. </p>
