# Independent Randomisation [code](https://gitlab.pavlovia.org/vespr/independent-randomisation) | [try it](https://run.pavlovia.org/vespr/independent-randomisation/)

Pre-load one column from a spreadsheet so that the contents can be displayed in an independent random order alongside the contents of another column. This demo also uses shuffle to randomise the location of the target.
