    However, generally they are considerably slower (typically by a factor 2–10) than fast, non-cryptographic random number generators. These include: Stream ciphers. Popular choices are Salsa20 or ChaCha (often with the number of rounds reduced to 8 for speed), ISAAC, HC-128 and RC4. Block ciphers in counter mode.

    Minecraft is specifically using Perlin noise calculations, like the kind you'd use to create a rough-looking texture for a 3D model. It starts out on a very broad level, painting a basic ...

  4. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator ( LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation. The method represents one of the oldest and best-known pseudorandom number generator algorithms.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake

    Mojibake ( Japanese: 文字化け; IPA: [mod͡ʑibake], "character transformation") is the garbled or gibberish text that is the result of text being decoded using an unintended character encoding. [ 1] The result is a systematic replacement of symbols with completely unrelated ones, often from a different writing system .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2b2t

    2b2t ( 2builders2tools) is a Minecraft server founded in December 2010. 2b2t has essentially no rules and players are not permanently banned, known within Minecraft as an " anarchy server". [ 2] As a result, players commonly engage in the destruction of other players' and groups creations, colloquially called "griefing", as well as hacking ...

    This AI used GPT-4 to become an expert Minecraft player. AI researchers have built a Minecraft bot that can explore and expand its capabilities in the game’s open world — but unlike other bots ...

  8. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

    WoW's random character name generator provides decent mythical-sounding names for most classes by combining random syllables together. However, for those of us on older servers, the random name ...
