I would like to know on how I would be able to stop this random colour picker from choosing the same colour twice because it is currently doing this when I want it to pick another random colour. I do not know why this is occurring, what should I implement into my code to stop this from occurring.

CodePudding user response:

You have to maintain another list, lets call it: "already_picked". If you choose a color with the "pick" number, you have to put that number into this "already_picked" list. Before you choose another colour, you have to check if the selected number is currently in this list, if so, pick other one.

you need to add a varianble to remember the used Colors. I used an array to do so.
