I’m trying to make this app that teaches kids how to take care of pets. So I have this information screen that calls upon itself and randomizes through 6 facts/backgrounds, but I want to somehow fix it so that it doesn’t show the previous fact. I thought about throwing each fact onto a new scene/file, but I feel like that wouldn’t be optimal…
This is what I have so far
