Re: Random values



First of all, a thank you to Pierre-Olivier for creating such a
wonderful app. It is in my opinion the absolute highlight of Tiger.

While experimenting with creating all sorts of plasmaparticle-like goo
on my display I seemed to notice that the random generator is not truly
random. It obviously gets seeded with a value, since sometimes I have random generators which are generating the same values.

The random generator is deterministic and has a seed indeed. To ensure random generators have a different seed, make sure you create them from the patch list instead of copy/pasting existing ones.
