Loop For X times

Im tring to get X amount of boxes to fill depending on random number. Im only getting 1

c#
int count = 0;

Random rdmamt = new Random();
int amount = rdmamt.Next(0,8);
int x = rdmamt.Next(0, 16);
int y = rdmamt.Next(0, 13);

if (count <= amount) 
{
    for (int i = 0; i < amount; i++)
    {
        Playarea.Add(new BoxView()
        {
            Color = Colors.DarkGray,
        }, x, y);
    }
}

c#
int count = 0;

Random rdmamt = new Random();
int amount = rdmamt.Next(0,8);
int x = rdmamt.Next(0, 16);
int y = rdmamt.Next(0, 13);

if (count <= amount) 
{
    for (int i = 0; i < amount; i++)
    {
        Playarea.Add(new BoxView()
        {
            Color = Colors.DarkGray,
        }, x, y);
    }
}

Thanks

Does the loop only run once? Or do you only get one box added?

If i goto my station button and back again i only get 1 more box

try creating Random outside of that method

Use the debugger to see what's going on Maybe amount is always 1?

Is it due to only having one Boxview? That time it gave me random number of 5

x and y are assigned values only once, which is before the loop so even if amount gets assigned to 6 (for example), since x and y are never reassigned in the loop, then, the coordinates of all 6 of the BoxView items will be the same, and will hence overlap on the UI and and therefore appear as only one thats the only thing i can come up with that could be wrong with the code
