Emmanuel Bourg commented on RNG-16:
-----------------------------------
The use case I have in mind is a game server distributing a seed to the clients
and expecting them to generate an identical sequence of random events.
Different implementations of the client in different languages need to be
interoperable.

> Key: RNG-16
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-16
> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is a RFE for implementing linear congruential generators:
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator
> This type of random generator is often used in language runtimes (Borland C,
> GCC, Delphi, VB and even Java). Preconfigured generators using the same
> parameters as these languages would be convenient for reproducing the same
> number sequences in Java.
