I looked at the RNG in TempleOS out of curiosity. I assumed he was mixing in some noise sources that could be explained as some kind of universal communication subchannel from god. Here's the relevant code (in HolyC of course): I32 RandI32() {//Random I32. Xor with TimsStamp. sys_rnd_seed.i32[0]=(1664525*sys_rnd_seed.i32[0]+1013904223)^GetTSC>>4; return sys_rnd_seed.i32[0]; } There are very similar RNG functions for signed and unsigned versions of 16, 32 and 64 bit ints. The GetTSC function just calls RDTSC, combines the two 32-bit halves in EAX and EDX and returns the recombined 64-bit TSC. So the last returned value is used as part of the seed for the next one. The initial seed is set in kend.cpp: sys_rnd_seed =93186752^GetTSC; I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed that god would be quite so deterministic.
