Default Re: Repeat Galaxies

In coding, I usually fudge the random sequence. A good trick for you coders out there...

Seconds since arbtrary time * Day of the week (1=Monday or what ever you want) * Week of the year

Following this random seed, it takes decades of gaming to get the same number. I even toss in a fourth multiplier. (the Last 4 digits of the machine's processor ID)
