Have a new Rodeo automation I'm testing out. Am calling it Mint Roulette - a play on Russian Roulette but with NFTs. I set the automation up with an `odds` value, which determines the range. Let's say this is 10. It then picks a random `target` number from the range of 0 to 10 and locks that away. When minting ends the automation plays roulette, that is it selects a new random number from the same range. If this number matches the initial target number, the artwork dies - changes to a blank image or something else. Any other number means the artwork lives. Thoughts? Would you play? Do I keep the odds low? Do I make them dynamic somehow - eg increasing or decreasing odds based on mint total?

Oh the automation will work in seamlessly with what I’ve already setup on my server. Have the core “engine” done and working as tested with my current generative Rodeo pieces, and the “this or that” I tried out, plus the one where artwork revealed at 100 mints. I’ve programmed a handful of these Rodeo “games”. This roulette one would be another! I just need to work out how I want the mechanics to operate

Got ya. Yeah so there’s no API but Rodeo simply reads the metadata uri from the smart contract which points to the metadata on IPFS and contains the title etc and the image url (also on IPFS) and displays that. As the owner of your contract you have to ability to update this uri. So I’ve built everything around that, updating the uri when required. You can also call other functions on the contract like getting total mints, whether minting is still open or not etc.
