});

window.ITEMS_MAP = new Map(ITEMS_ARRAY.map((item, index) => [index, item]));

window.initialIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * 500);

window.indexes = new Array(500).fill(null).map((item, index) => window.initialIndex + index);

Tests:

Accessing random index in array
window.indexes.forEach((index) => { const smt = window.ITEMS_ARRAY[index]; });
Accessing random index in map
window.indexes.forEach((index) => { const smt = window.ITEMS_MAP.get(index); });
