Bounce random garden

What does it do?

Once it is filled with some pictures, numbers, or texts, and is activated, this special kind of Random Garden extracts an element from its contents whenever it is touched by another ToonTalk object.
 

How do I use it?

Fill the garden with pictures, numbers or texts by dropping them on it. Activate the garden by pointing to it and hitting the space bar, then let a ToonTalk object touch it.; you can also simply hold a number or a text in your hand and pass it over the garden.
 

How does it work?

As standard Random Gardens, it extracts randomly an object from its contents, but it extracts when touched.
 

What can I use it for?

It can be used as a random generator itself, but it can be used also to build more complex random generators by combining it with other kinds of objects.

The second version extracts items only once for each time that it is touched, in other words, it extracts only one item every time it is touched:
