Basically what I want is to have a random angle between 315 degrees and 45. How do i do that?  
And btw I don’t mean 45 between 315, it should exclude everything between those numbers.  
Example:

45 = max = 405 degrees  
315 = min = 315 degrees  
90 = **bad**  
180 = **bad**  
270 = **bad**

Nevermind I got it it’s in this format:  
angle = Math.random() \* (405 - 315) + 315;

When I posted this I forgot about the tutorial that told you how to do what i was asking.
