/** seedrandom.js ============= Seeded random number generator for Javascript. version 2.3.10 Author: David Bau Date: 2014 Sep 20 Can be used as a plain script, a node.js module or an AMD module. Script tag usage ---------------- // Sets Math.random to a PRNG initialized using the given explicit seed. Math.seedrandom('hello.'); console.log(Math.random()); // Always 0.9282578795792454 console.log(Math.random()); // Always 0.3752569768646784 // Sets Math.random to an ARC4-based PRNG that is autoseeded using the // current time, dom state, and other accumulated local entropy. // The generated seed string is returned. Math.seedrandom(); console.log(Math.random()); // Reasonably unpredictable. // Seeds using the given explicit seed mixed with accumulated entropy. Math.seedrandom('added entropy.', { entropy: true }); console.log(Math.random()); // As unpredictable as added entropy. // Use "new" to create a local prng without altering Math.random. var myrng = new Math.seedrandom('hello.'); console.log(myrng()); // Always 0.9282578795792454 Node.js usage ------------- npm install seedrandom // Local PRNG: does not affect Math.random. var seedrandom = require('seedrandom'); var rng = seedrandom('hello.'); console.log(rng()); // Always 0.9282578795792454 // Autoseeded ARC4-based PRNG. rng = seedrandom(); console.log(rng()); // Reasonably unpredictable. // Global PRNG: set Math.random. seedrandom('hello.', { global: true }); console.log(Math.random()); // Always 0.9282578795792454 // Mixing accumulated entropy. rng = seedrandom('added entropy.', { entropy: true }); console.log(rng()); // As unpredictable as added entropy. Require.js usage ---------------- Similar to node.js usage: bower install seedrandom require(['seedrandom'], function(seedrandom) { var rng = seedrandom('hello.'); console.log(rng()); // Always 0.9282578795792454 }); Network seeding --------------- Reseeding using user input -------------------------- var seed = Math.seedrandom(); // Use prng with an automatic seed. document.write(Math.random()); // Pretty much unpredictable x. var rng = new Math.seedrandom(seed); // A new prng with the same seed. document.write(rng()); // Repeat the 'unpredictable' x. function reseed(event, count) { // Define a custom entropy collector. var t = []; function w(e) { t.push([e.pageX, e.pageY, +new Date]); if (t.length < count) { return; } document.removeEventListener(event, w); Math.seedrandom(t, { entropy: true }); } document.addEventListener(event, w); } reseed('mousemove', 100); // Reseed after 100 mouse moves. The "pass" option can be used to get both the prng and the seed. The following returns both an autoseeded prng and the seed as an object, without mutating Math.random: var obj = Math.seedrandom(null, { pass: function(prng, seed) { return { random: prng, seed: seed }; }}); Version notes ------------- The random number sequence is the same as version 1.0 for string seeds. * Version 2.0 changed the sequence for non-string seeds. * Version 2.1 speeds seeding and uses window.crypto to autoseed if present. * Version 2.2 alters non-crypto autoseeding to sweep up entropy from plugins. * Version 2.3 adds support for "new", module loading, and a null seed arg. * Version 2.3.1 adds a build environment, module packaging, and tests. * Version 2.3.4 fixes bugs on IE8, and switches to MIT license. * Version 2.3.6 adds a readable options object argument. * Version 2.3.10 adds support for node.js crypto (contributed by ctd1500). The standard ARC4 key scheduler cycles short keys, which means that seedrandom('ab') is equivalent to seedrandom('abab') and 'ababab'. Therefore it is a good idea to add a terminator to avoid trivial equivalences on short string seeds, e.g., Math.seedrandom(str + '\0'). Starting with version 2.0, a terminator is added automatically for non-string seeds, so seeding with the number 111 is the same as seeding with '111\0'. When seedrandom() is called with zero args or a null seed, it uses a seed drawn from the browser crypto object if present. If there is no crypto support, seedrandom() uses the current time, the native rng, and a walk of several DOM objects to collect a few bits of entropy. Each time the one- or two-argument forms of seedrandom are called, entropy from the passed seed is accumulated in a pool to help generate future seeds for the zero- and two-argument forms of seedrandom. On speed - This javascript implementation of Math.random() is several times slower than the built-in Math.random() because it is not native code, but that is typically fast enough. Some details (timings on Chrome 25 on a 2010 vintage macbook): * seeded Math.random() - avg less than 0.0002 milliseconds per call * seedrandom('explicit.') - avg less than 0.2 milliseconds per call * seedrandom('explicit.', true) - avg less than 0.2 milliseconds per call * seedrandom() with crypto - avg less than 0.2 milliseconds per call Autoseeding without crypto is somewhat slower, about 20-30 milliseconds on a 2012 windows 7 1.5ghz i5 laptop, as seen on Firefox 19, IE 10, and Opera. Seeded rng calls themselves are fast across these browsers, with slowest numbers on Opera at about 0.0005 ms per seeded Math.random(). LICENSE (MIT) ------------- Copyright 2014 David Bau.
