Description

This opcode can be used in order to shuffle the content of function tables into a random order but without loosing any of the elements. Imagine shuffling a deck of cards. Each element of the table is copied to a different random position. If that position was already chosen before then the next free position is chosen. The length of the table remains the same.

Syntax

tableshuffle ktablenum

tableshufflei itablenum

Performance

ktablenum or itablenum -- the number of the table to shuffle.

Examples
