Re: [sc-users] random seeds

[Sciss <contact@xxxxxxxx>]

super that's it. this should be mentioned somewhere in the Thread  
help. that was why i was asking about being able to spotlight .sc  
files ;-) as i see the whole Thread.help.rtf is practically empty,  
and i'm a bit lazy now ;-9  so maybe just these extra lines in  
Routine.help.rtf :

"
randSeed_

sets the routine's seed for random number generation. the seed is an  
arbitrary integer number which by default is created from the current  
system date (is that correct???). you can explicitly set the seed to  
be able to reproduce the same series of random numbers.

	// use default (varying) seed
	r = Routine({10.do{10.rand.postln}}).play;
	r = Routine({10.do{10.rand.postln}}).play;	// different series

	// use custom seed
	r = Routine({10.do{10.rand.postln}}).randSeed_(1000).play;
	r = Routine({10.do{10.rand.postln}}).randSeed_(1000).play;	// same  
series again

best, -sciss-
