| Summary | 0002225: CGlobalUnsynced random seed not really random | ||||
| Description | CGlobalUnsynced is seeded by SDL_GetTicks. SDL_GetTicks() is number of milliseconds since SDL library initialization. In SpringApp::Initialize() CGlobalUnsynced is created 3 lines after call to InitWindow which initializes SDL. Chances are that, on a fast CPU, this is done in under a millisecond - you will seed with 0. This seed is later used in GameData which is broadcasted by GameServer to seed CGlobalSynced's random function. So you'll have (with high probability) the same random number sequence in each run. Using a more random source might be useful. E.g. time? | ||||
