I RANDOMIZED IT!

Submitted by KiloNova on March 29, 2026
I finally randomized Guess the Mystery Country By Directional Clues!

At first, I took an approach similar to Find the Mystery Country by Color Clues - I could have a script pointing the arrows while JetPunk's randomizer, well, randomized it. However, I didn't really have a way to tell the script which group was picked.

Talking with Simon1006 I realized there would be a much easier approach to not have ten thousand answer columns, and instead let the code randomize it as well.

I ran a script to rotate the arrows and I got that done pretty quickly. However, I did meet an issue on how to finish the quiz whenever the mystery country is entered (I couldn't just have a universal type in since it was randomized). I tinkered with my strategies for quite a bit.

It only took about 40 tries of running the code, several hours, a bunch of annoying files, and some help from Dimby, before I realized the mistake I was making. I let out a heavy sigh but at least it finally worked!

This is probably my biggest project yet, so thanks to everyone!
