Pseudo-random Number Generator
Heres a Pseudo-random Number Generator - I just made it up off the top of my head - so it has no mathematial research behind it to prove it's random... I've tested it for a while and it looks random to me, about the same as llFrand(). But what ever. Sue me.
It's decently fast (haven't compared it with llFrand()) - yet - but I would expect it to be about the same speed, if not faster.
integer seed = 0x61FA687C;
integer rand() {
seed = (integer)(seed * 0x71B5F252 + 0xD);
return seed ^ 0x7FFFFFFF;
}
Example code to test the randomness (Is that a word?) of the generator.
default {
state_entry() {
integer i = 0;
integer min = 0x7FFFFFFF;
integer max = -0x7FFFFFFF;
integer total = 0;
while (i < 100000000) {
integer r = rand();
if (r < min) {
min = r;
}
if (r > max) {
max = r;
}
total += r;
i++;
}
llOwnerSay("Min: " + (string)min);
llOwnerSay("Max: " + (string)max);
llOwnerSay("Average: " + (string)(total/100000000));
}
}
