exmachina posted:Another game that deliberately uses poor RNG generation is Doom. There is a preset list of scrambled numbers from 0-255 and each call for random values just takes the next value off the list. This has been abused by TAS players. I mean, I don't know if I'd call it 'poor' except in a pure mathematical sense. Most humans won't ever recognize it. Also, with a static RNG table, that helped allowed the easy sharing of demos (since they are just user inputs that will get the same reaction) and that helped allow for some of the world's first speedrunning. For anyone who hasn't seen it, here's a video by some guy describing the computer code behind the Doom RNG. It's actually super fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq3x1Jy8pYM
