This doesn’t really test randomness.
It appears that the guessing output is deterministic using your inputs as it’s inputs and you could figure out as many consecutive inputs you felt like to produce a specific outcome. For instance 6R1L3R inputs forces the game to “guess” wrong each time. It’s not guessing. This isn’t a random input, but it’s perfectly within a reasonable random distribution. Equally random is 10L, which the guesser will guess right each time.
Losing to the guesser doesn’t indicate a lack of random input, nor does guessing the opposite of the guesser indicate randomness.
We can’t really generate randomness. Only outcomes consistent with some distribution. It’s more of a philosophical point. If you made it it’s not random.
