This is a random number generator that uses moving particle phyisics, controlled amount analysis and various other means to produce a truly random number.

    I have proof that there is such thing as randomness in TPT, and you don't need something like this to make random numbers.. Read the description on this save: 1007171

    @SomeGuy: you've thrown yourself against quantum mechanics.. Anyway - the top module is in fact skewed towards the left.

    Seems more Guassian than random.

    Nothing in powder toy is random. Except me.

    It is to note - even the chaos of tpt paticles appears random, all is governed by algorithms and time. Nice pseudorandom though!

    @jallibad: no its not, it uses gausian distribution, which has a massive center biase.

    Not trying to throw myself into the argument but there is no true random outcomes. in real life, when given the same exact variables and the same exact circumstances you will get the same exact outcome. but since we can't recreate things such as with such precision, most people will hastly conclude that the outcome is "random".

    @ninja569, it's as random as you can make something in TPT...
