Re: [sc-users] Silly Question Probably....

How about...

commands = (set of commands);

banned = IdentitySet.new; // or Set.new if you're using strings

When the computer picks a command, it does:

banned.add(command);

When a player hits the pedal, check

banned.includes(command)

If that's false, the command can go through.

Ok, so I've been sort of racking my brain for an easy way to do this

(not as good of a programmer as I'd like to pretend to be):

I want to have a series of commands for performers. The commands will

be displayed in a GUI (not a problem so far) in two halves. The first

half will have a command picked by the computer, and the second will

have commands picked by the performers by way of foot pedal

interaction. There are three sets of commands:

speed (fast or slow)

volume (loud or soft)

page number (1 or 2)

So basically, I want the computer to randomly pick one command for the

performers to follow. When this command is selected, I don't want any

foot pedal activity to be able to pick from the same command class

(i.e. if the computer decides to choose "slow" as a command, no one

should be able to hit a pedal to generate "fast" as a command). I'm

sort of lost on how I can go about programming this.
