Chapter 3. Using RNG with C++ Data Types
In Chapter 1, An Introduction to Procedural Generation, we learned the fact that pseudorandom number generation is at the heart of random procedural generation. Remember, a procedural system is not random by nature, we need to induce randomness. To start our journey, we're going to look at a range of different C++ data types, and use Random Number Generator (RNG) to give them random values at runtime. This ability to use core C++ data types in a random, yet still controlled, way will be the basis for all our future systems.
In this chapter we'll cover the following topics:
- Setting the game seed
- Enumerators
- Setting Boolean values randomly
- Accessing random elements in an array
- Generating random strings
- Random number ...
