Is there some reason you are averse to using the standard C++ ‘rand/srand’ 
functions?

                srand(seed);
                int r = rand();

Should return a deterministic sequence of 32-bit integers based on ‘seed’.

From cplusplus.com:

“Two different initializations with the same seed, instructs the pseudo-random 
generator to generate the same succession of results for the subsequent calls 
to rand<http://cplusplus.com/rand> in both cases.”

http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/srand

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Nuke-dev] Re: Generating the same "random numbers" over sessions

Thanks for the answer Jonathan, that totally makes sence.
But I'm more after what actuall randomizer people use. I see here you refer to 
the function p_random() as the pseudo random number generator. Any good example 
here that's easy to use that generates random enough numbers that are always 
the same for the known several parameters I input?

Cheers, and have a great weekend!
