Member Function Documentation

random()

virtual int32_t stmg::RandomSource::random ( int32_t  nFrom, int32_t  nTo  )

pure virtualnoexcept

Return a random value within a range.

All entities within the game should use the same implementation of this function to generate random numbers (and not keep a personal generator alongside) so that the sequences can potentially be recorded and reproduced for debugging.

Parameters

nFrom	The first of the possible values.
nTo	The last of the possible values.

Returns

The random value >= nFrom and <= nTo.

Implemented in stmg::Game, and stmg::StdRandomSource.
