![]() Unity random number generator uses the seconds of the computer clock as the random seed. Most of the algorithms take the computer time for random seed generation. It is not necessary to give a random seed every time. This method is very useful while generating random numbers for the procedural generation of terrains. You can actually get the same behavior from the random number generator by using the same seed. every random number generator requires a random seed to generate random numbers. The random seed is the initial number used to start with. You can refer to the Wikipedia page for more details on the Xorshift algorithm. Xor basically gives 1 if the inputs are different and a 0 if the inputs are the same. ![]() The right shift operator also works in a similar way. For example, 1<<2 will change 1 to 100 in binary. What the left shift and the right shift do is shift the binary digits by the number of times mentioned. Mostly atmospherically noise is considered for this application as it is totally random. Mostly true random number generators use natural data to compute the random number. True randomness cannot be achieved using a computer algorithm. If you keep the random seed the same every time then pseudo-random number generators will provide a similar sequence or number every time. All these algorithms and calculations use a random seed as the initial value. In pseudo-random, a computer algorithm or a mathematical calculation is used to generate the random number. One is Pseudo Random number generation and the other one is true random number generation. There two major types of random number generation. In this post, we will see the different random number algorithms, what a random seed is and how to generate random int and random float in Unity with code samples. Though the generated number or sequence in Unity is pseudo-random, it is mostly sufficient for the application in games. Unity random number generation uses Marsaglia’s Xorshift 128 algorithm. Every random number generator uses a different algorithm. In games, random numbers are mostly used for level design to achieve the procedural generation of levels. Magic, a fourth and final increment of 63.75f.Random number generation is used in a lot of applications. timeLeft is now equal to 0.25f, same as deltaTime. Since we again subtracted ltaTime to timeLeft. Now, for the final iteration, the above poster has a condition that states that if timeLeft = ltaTime or less, then you just assign the final value. On the third iteration, we raised by 63.75f. On the second iteration, we raised by 63.75f On the first iteration, we raised by 63.75f. Since t equals 0.5f on this iteration, it means we want the value halfway between 127.5f and 255f. Remember, we are interpolating from our actual color, which is currently 127.5f. ![]() This time, we are interpolating over 127.5f (255f - 127.5f). ltaTime, as usual, is equal to 0.25f since we said we had 4 FPS. We have subtracted another 0.25f to timeLeft. This is a medium gray and also, coincidently (or not so much), half of 255f. We are now at 127.5f (63.75f from the first iteration and 63.75f from the second iteration) out of the total 255f. ![]() On the first iteration, we moved 63.75f forward. This means we are interpolating over 191.25f.Ī third of 191.25f is 63.75f. ![]() We said we are at 63.75f and we want to reach 255f. Let's see how much we're interpolating over. Since we aren't interpolating over 255 anymore. It is a third of the way from 63.75f and 255f. But since we are interpolating from the current color, rather than the initial, this isn't a third of the way from 0f to 255f. Notice that 63.75 is also, coincidently (or not so much), a fourth of 255f. We have interpolated a fourth of the way from 0f to 255f. Since we haven't subtracted to timeLeft yet, timeLeft is still equal to 1f. ltaTime is equal to 0.25f, because remember, we only have 4 FPS. Now let's say our dinosaur hardware dates from 1990 and we only get 4 frames per second. Let's say we want to LERP from black to white (from 0 to 255 for all 3 color sliders) and we want to do so over 1 second. Above is a linear model, as in a model that contains no easing. ![]()
