    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_using...

    Other games procedurally generate other aspects of gameplay, such as the weapons in Borderlands which have randomized stats and configurations. [3] This is a list of video games that use procedural generation as a core aspect of gameplay. Games that use procedural generation solely during development as part of asset creation are not included.

    Default generator in R and the Python language starting from version 2.3. Xorshift: 2003 G. Marsaglia [26] It is a very fast sub-type of LFSR generators. Marsaglia also suggested as an improvement the xorwow generator, in which the output of a xorshift generator is added with a Weyl sequence.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation

    Using procedural generation in games had origins in the tabletop role playing game (RPG) venue. [4] The leading tabletop system, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, provided ways for the "dungeon master" to generate dungeons and terrain using random die rolls, expanded in later editions with complex branching procedural tables.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift

    An xorshift* generator applies an invertible multiplication (modulo the word size) as a non-linear transformation to the output of an xorshift generator, as suggested by Marsaglia. [1] All xorshift* generators emit a sequence of values that is equidistributed in the maximum possible dimension (except that they will never output zero for 16 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetHack

    NetHack does allow players to save the game so that one does not have to complete the game in one session, but on opening a new game, the previous save file is subsequently wiped as to enforce the permadeath option. One option some players use is to make a backup copy of the save game file before playing a game, and, should their character die ...

    In fact, for a sequence with a number N of distinct elements, it is possible to play the chaos game on an N-sided polygon, assigning each element to a vertex and playing the game choosing the vertices following the progression of the sequence (instead of choosing a random vertex). In this version of the game, the generated image is a unique ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev/random

    Random number generation in kernel space was implemented for the first time for Linux [2] in 1994 by Theodore Ts'o. [6] The implementation used secure hashes rather than ciphers, [clarification needed] to avoid cryptography export restrictions that were in place when the generator was originally designed.
