@lorenschmidt this is such a useful technique, but the programming worm has gotten into bits of my brain and makes me hate all floating bits of mutable state that aren't properly encapsulated, which makes this then become a heavy-weight way to do things.Permalink Look on archive.org

@lorenschmidt mmm - i only really find this a problem with reasonably small arrays. and the worm's problem is that either the state is kept within the random generator (in which case, i have to think about sequencing of calling it), or it's kept elsewhere & has to be passed everywhere.Permalink Look on archive.org

the bit that's actually annoying is the bit where people keep saying fixing this "fixed an awful game". the game was objectively bad before, now it is all fine. how silly of the devs not to have found this themselves! if only they knew a single character was all it took.Permalink Look on archive.org
