@Lost_Oasis_Games as I was doing my platform game i had this issue and it forced me to add more code instead of using random cause every time i refreshed the pattern kept changing. This is really powerful , and it would save alot of time . Thanks for explaining!
Pseudo-random numbers are a sequence generated by applying a formula to a value. For the first number generated that value is the seed. For subsequent numbers the value used is calculated from the previous result.
Being able to change the initial seed means you can generate the same sequence over and over.
So if you set a seed in GS will it be the same for all users with the same seed number like Minecraft and such? Seems like along with sandbox/crafting games this could be good for making a "challenge of the day" for an arcade game too!
