I suspect the issue lies in the piece of code that tries to make sure you don’t get the same animal twice when you select a random animal. You can also follow the steps until there is only the Newt and then press the dice below it’s name. Now there are no animals.
The random selector subtracts one from the total options and adds that one back if the new number is greater or equal to the precious number. So in case of only a single option it gets 0 at random, which equals the previous index and does +1, which doesn’t exist.
There should be a failsafe that prevents this logic if there is only one animal in total 🤷♂
Exactly. If it’s true, it’s horrific—but it would also be incredibly easy to mistranslate these words on purpose.
