| * A code snippet (not the whole thing) or a system for | |
| * generating sequences of random number at points in | |
| * space and "time" (sequence order) by hashing 4-dimensional | |
| * coordinates. The purpose of this is for use in | |
| * procedural content generation, as an alternative to | |
| * complex systems of region / chunk / area seed calculations. | |
| * This allows for any of the needed pseudorandom numbers | |
| * to be generated on demand, in any order, as many times | |
| * as required -- easily adapting to worlds generating in |
