The Randomizer Pack

Shuffling & random-seeding in action

This is a demo doc for the Randomizer Pack. You can get it here

⁠

Randomizer Pack, extend Coda with Randomizer - Coda Randomizer lets you shuffle lists of numbers or text values. Randomizer also lets you control when random numbers change - and when they don't - by letting you coda.io⁠

Why does this Pack exist?

The Randomizer Pack provides shuffling formulas for when you have a list you want to shake up.

It also gives you more control over random numbers. Coda’s formula language has randomization formulas like Random() and RandomInteger(), which are quite useful. They can be set to be static after the first time they’re calculated, or change every time the doc is updated in any way. This covers the majority of use cases, but not all. The Randomizer Pack gives you more control of when random numbers update, by letting you specify the random seed. Choose a seed that updates whenever you want the random number to change.
