Re: [chuck-users] random seed

This thread has made me thoroughly confused. I see that you have solved your issue, Lars, but I would still like to know what your task was. :) I feel it might be good for inspiration. In my world of computer science, if you use a random generator, pretend that you've never heard the word "seed", and just start reading random numbers, you will effectively get non repeatable structures, different every time. /Stefan 2010/9/11 Kassen

Hi Kas,

Hey, Lars!

...

I was looking for a message to turn off the seed. Something like "set seed to 0" and get non repeatable structures. (like maxmsp object lp.tata from peter castine )

The default situation should be getting a initial seed from the host OS when the VM starts. That seed should be unknown to you, but it's still a seed. There really is no way to "turn off the seed" with PRNG's. Sorry; it's not my fault ;¬).

...

Anyway, I have found a method to do this with some functions.

Thanks a lot for your patience.

No problem, that's what the list is for,

Yours, Kas.
