Public Methods | |
| csRandomGen () | |
| Initialize the random number generator using current time(). | |
| csRandomGen (unsigned iSeed) | |
| Initialize the random number generator given a seed. | |
| void | Initialize () |
| Initialize the RNG using current time() as the seed value. | |
| void | Initialize (unsigned iSeed) |
| Select the random sequence number (942,438,978 sequences available). | |
| float | Get () |
| Get a floating-point random number in range 0 <= num < 1. | |
| unsigned | Get (unsigned iLimit) |
| Get a unsigned integer random number in range 0 <= num < iLimit. | |
| bool | SelfTest () |
| Perform a self-test. | |
p> The reason for using this class if that you may want a consistent random number generator across all platforms supported by Crystal Space. Besides, in general it is a better quality RNG than the one supplied in most C runtime libraries. Personally I observed a significant improvement in a random terrain generator I made after I switched to this RNG.
