  random string of 1’s and 0’s

  Posted by Accountclosedduetonorealnameused on September 25, 2007 at 4:37 pm

  Is there a tutorial, or project anywhere that creates a random string of 1’s and 0’s that change (from 1 to 0 and vice versa)

  so it would look like:

  110101110101010

  but it would animte from 1 to 0 etc?

  You should be able to do this pretty quickly with a text animator.

  Try typing out a few 0s in a text layer. Select this layer and go to Animation>Animate Text>Character Offset.

  Now, change the Character Offset property to 1 and delete the default Range Selector. Add a new Wiggly Selector (use the drop down menu to the right of “Animator 1”) and reveal this selector’s properties. Change the Min Amount property to 0% (otherwise you’ll end up with 0s, 1s and 9s) and leave all other properties the same.

  This should give you a random sequence of 0s and 1s. You can change the Wiggly Selector’s properties to have the numbers change more quickly (Wiggles/Second).

  Let me know if you need more details.

  here’s a code courtesy of Stephen Dixon:
  make sure you are using the JavaScript expression engine

  let digits = 9; // number of digits

  Math.round(Math.random(Math.pow(2, digits) -1)).toString(2).padStart(digits, “0”)
