This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Sets the current state of the random number generator. The value used as an argument for this function is an opaque implementation-dependent string and should only originate from a previous call to love.math.getRandomState.

This is different from love.math.setRandomSeed in that setRandomState directly sets the random number generator's current implementation-dependent state, whereas setRandomSeed gives it a new seed value.

Function

Synopsis

love.math.setRandomState( state )

Arguments

string state
The new state of the random number generator, represented as a string. This should originate from a previous call to love.math.getRandomState.

Returns

Nothing.

Notes

The effect of the state string does not depend on the current operating system.
