The term comes from the games community - its what they call it. For example, in DotA: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Pseudo_Random_Distribution http://wiki.

- foota 10y agoInteresting, thanks for making that point. I think it might be best to refer to one as a prng and the other as a prd (generator vs distribution) although implementing a prd creates a prng, some prng attempt to target a real random distribution.
- csydas 10y agoLate reply but thanks for the heads up - I wasn't aware that prng was a term that I could be using as opposed to prd. The above comment is accurate in how I first came across the term as it's pretty commonly used in a lot of games in a lay person's fashion.
