Default Re: Repeat Galaxies

A little secret of computer science is that random isn't. The computer is incapable of produceing real random numbers, so instead a value (the seed) is taken from a source which changes alot (ie number of seconds since midnight), and then run thru a few functions to yeild your number. If you put in the exact same seed, you will get the exact same sequence of "random" numbers.
