When it comes to science, there is no matter of taste — it either works, or it doesn’t. The OP is using quantum computing. The entropy is taken from the …
taby wrote: So basically, you’re using the word entropy because it’s a difficult to understand concept… because it’s the cool thing to do. shrug

You can create synchronized shared experiences by using a hash of the date as the seed. No distribution mechanism required.
I have a job now? Lol. Anyone ever bothers me about it again, that's what I'm gonna tell 'em.
Both of these land, so let me take them straight. The cherry-pick attack is real — and it’s why “the house pulls a seed from an API” was never meant …
taby wrote: What role does entropy play when you’re sharing a seed based on day, instead of second (like with C++’s time())? The switch from per-second to per-day isn’t about …
Nice! LorenzoGatti wrote: To the nonrepudiation challenge — this is the strongest critique in the thread, and he’s largely right, so concede and narrow: Fair, and mostly right. A central …
On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me A bugbear in a pear tree! On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me …
If the purpose is nonrepudiation of a RNG seed, what's wrong with a central game server distributing it in advance with a digital signature, avoiding third parties that are not …
Nice!

totally fair points im havent reinvented the wheel just thought itd be fun to try and start playing around with connecting games back ends to real quantum hardware and honestly …

Fair points, and I’ll concede both: for the RNG stream, Mersenne Twister (or PCG) is the right call, and for seeding, /dev/urandom is unpredictable, free, and local. I’m not claiming …
Why would I as a game developer need quantum randomness, as opposed to a robust pseudorandom number generation algorithm like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister ?
My engine just groups together open Quantum Computer hardware portals like IBM, Amazon, etc to so software/game developers can use the engine to get their seeds from a truly quantum …
If this is meant to be commercial proprietary middleware, I personally would never commit to such a thing. What I've observed over the very long haul of commercial game maintenance, …
Hi everyone — I’m Colin, founder of Artphorm, and I’m building a small developer tool called QeNTROPY. QeNTROPY is an entropy seed engine for games, apps, experiments, and creative tools. …
