Feedback Why isn't there a Random.onUnitCircle method?

I was reading your blog-post that highlights the

Random

API and noticed there is no

Random.onUnitCircle

method and I wonder why that is?

 

Probably because you can instantly get it just by normalizing the result of insideUnitCircle.

 

I see, let me rephrase the question: Why is there a

Random.onUnitSphere

but no

Random.onUnitCircle

method.

 

Could be a million reasons. Here's one:

- in year X1 some guy wrote onUnitSphere and insideUnitSphere

- in year X2 another guy wrote insideUnitCircle

APIs are rarely planned out and written in a single day.

For instance, look at the .rotation and .rotationUniform properties.

If .rotation ISN'T uniform, then what is it? Docs say it randomizes the x,y,z eulers, which naively you might think is uniform, but due to pole pinching / gimbal lock is anything but uniform.
