so, I’m making a remake of the arcade game Centipede, and I need a way to randomly spawn in mushrooms at the start of every game, can someone help?
You could use randomizes witching the given values for X and Y. 1 block = 32 pixels.

Here is how I did this with a 2D list that is shuffled (randomized). Using a list lets you “pop” the values so you don’t use the same position again.
