Interface FlawedRandomness

All Superinterfaces:
IFlawed, RandomnessSource, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
FlawedRandomness.AddRotate, FlawedRandomness.BigCounter
public interface FlawedRandomness
extends RandomnessSource, IFlawed
An interface to indicate a RandomnessSource that is intentionally flawed to create output patterns where a truly random sequence would have none. All FlawedRandomness implementations are static inner classes inside this interface, hopefully to avoid confusion with ones that are meant for general use. This implements IFlawed as well, to mark that it isn't for general-purpose use.

    A flawed randomness source that adds a rotation of its state, to its state, every generation.
    static class  FlawedRandomness.BigCounter
    A flawed randomness source that depends almost entirely on its starting state for any random-seeming results in its output.
