AHH! I'm ripping my hair out.
ok.. I finally got it to where my random number generator generates
the same numbers in the same sequence every time for any given seed.
but if I switch from 10.3.4 to 10.2.3 the results are COMPLETELY
different which leads me to believe that the results are different on
every computer on the planet. this is a huge problem. Is there a way
to lock down the results so that I get the same number on all
machines?
Thanks
April.
Um...I don't have a solution, but doesn't this go against the idea of
random numbers? If you're trying to get the same set of numbers,
couldn't you just use the same set?
I'm not all that surprised that the random number generator would come
up with different sets of numbers on different machines/OS versions.
Since the whole idea is to come up with random numbers, there's
probably not a whole lot of testing to see if the same seed would
generate the same sets...
