    random seed with deterministic lock step ish

    I'm wondering if anybody has any input on how to handle this, or if I'm way off with my thinking here. If I have a script that generates random values and then if I get a random seed and send that seed to another player on a different device will they generate the same values? Assuming...

    First post here since the good ol' days of GMC. It's good to be back, and my my, has GM come along way! :) I have set my seed for the main level of my game to be a constant number, in the hopes that this level will generate exactly the same every time. However this isn't the case. I've read...

    GameMaker Saving and Loading A Seed

    Hey All, I am trying to implement an autosave feature in my game so if the player gets interrupted by a phone call they can pick up where they left off. The issue is it's a rogue-like dungeon crawler much like binding of isaac. When you enter a new room you have a random chance of getting...

    Updated/upgraded, randomness issues

    Hey guys, I just updated my gamemaker and then upgraded to Pro, and my project is having very strange randomness issues. Below is part of my code for it. I randomize, then set a bunch of different 'tracks'. Each type of use of randomness has it's own variable. So when I check if a location is...

    Random generation

    I'm using default GM random functions to generate world (space), upon generation chunks are saved to the disk so it's the same when player visits the area again. But I would prefer seed based generation where user can input seed to generate world from. That might be also useful if I plan on...

    Random seeds and Delphi LongInt

    This isn't really a question, but more of a heads-up for those of you who use random seeds in your games. I've been playing around with random seeds while working on a save/load system in my current project. The game involves procedurally-generated dungeons, so at the start of each room the...
