This create a 4x4 grid of rects instantly, how do I make them appear randomly in its positions one after the other until all of them are on screen?
[lua]
local tiles = {}
function createBoard()
for i = 1, 4 do
for j = 1, 4 do
tiles[i] = display.newRect(40, 40, 0, 0)
tiles[i].x = 50*(i-1)
tiles[i].y = 50*(j-1)
end
end
end
[/lua]
You could create a table with the x and y values for each rect.
[lua]local myRects = {{x=0, y=0}, {x=40, y=0} etc…}[/lua]
Use the loop you already have to make this table. Then shuffle the table (randomising it).
Then you would iterate through the randomised table to render your rects but adding a delay.
[lua]
local delay = 0
for i = 1, #myRects do
timer.performWithDelay(delay, function() display.newRect(40, 40, myRects[i].x, myRects[i].y) end)
delay = delay + 100
end
[/lua]
Not tested, but gets you started hopefully.

Thank you very much, jonjonsson. This works like a charm!
