[QUOTE="Apri1, post: 172054, member: 10340"] lol. It does, actually. Given the same seed, the same algorithm, and same iteration, it will produce the same number. You can even predict what an RNG will produce, and use it to your advantage if you know the seed and iteration. Which is why usually we use the [I]time[/I] as the seed, so that it's always new. But time travel just throws a wrench into that. With alternate timelines, the same seed will be used (same time), and the same iteration will be used (first iteration). As a result, the same number would be generated. Ah. I see your issue. You're relying on the RNG code to differ in whatever timeline I end up finding myself in. That's.... not a very reliable way to go. I can't imagine it'd really differ that much. But who knows. I [I]have[/I] had recent suggestions for a sort of modified RNG, which sounds interesting. I'll have to set something up and see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
