Also you are sharing your pseudo-random numbers with all of your flakes, so when one gets a random number, they all get the same one making them all act the exact same. Also, as opposed to having 1001 different variables all incrementing one at a time, something that you could likely utilize well here is function scope; make a function to hold your snowflake code. That way you can have multiple flakes with their own values in a somewhat protected environment. All you would need to do to add another flake would be to call the function and be done with it. (Perhaps utilizing for loop for the amount you want.) -- The arch foe
