rng-seeding-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of managing random number generation (RNG) in game development, ensuring predictable and reproducible outcomes when needed for testing, debugging, or specific gameplay mechanics.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Seeded vs. Unseeded RNG Guidance: Clearly defines when to use deterministic (seeded) or non-deterministic (unseeded) RNG.
• Seed Management Patterns: Provides practical patterns for managing RNG seeds, including scene-level, URL parameters, and test modes.
• Deterministic Logic Examples: Illustrates how to implement deterministic game logic for maze generation, enemy spawning, and item placement.
• Test Patterns: Offers methods for testing RNG behavior, verifying deterministic outputs and seed regeneration.

Quick Start

Use the rng-seeding-patterns skill to document when to use seeded vs. unseeded RNG, provide patterns for RNG seed management, include examples of deterministic game logic, document seed regeneration patterns, and provide test patterns for RNG behavior.
