I’m currently making a game where numbers are supposed to fall from the top of the screen to the bottom. But i’m having trouble getting the numbers fall from random values from the top of the screen to the bottom. Can anyone help me?

you can print a number to a empty screen with  
**text(“3”,posx,posy);**  
and increase posy in every loop  
but first need to setup a random posx.  
**posx=random(10,width-10);**
