About 8 or 10 years ago, I saw one of the original 8 stock characters dance. The article showed how using shapes offstage with motion paths could be used to create an infinite loop. I've used it many times since.
When Articulate came out with the random number generator, I decided to see if I could apply it to a pair of dice and create random dice rolls. I applied the motion paths to the dice and got what looked like 2 dice rolling. For this challenge, I made it 1 dice (die?) and added the 6 tip cards. Each roll generates a random number 1-6. Then card 1-6 is turned based on the result number. The cards have a 2nd state called 'SawIt'. If the card is in the SawIt state, the roll keeps going until a number is hit that isn't in SawIt.
