[gameprogrammer] Re: database for fast games

Oh awesome!

Ruben, if you are only calling srand at the beginning of your program once,
I have some great news for you.

Just store the value you are passing to srand into the database, and then
when you want to re-get the random numbers, just srand with the same number
and then when you call rand() it will return the same sequence of numbers as
it did the first time you ran it (:

kinda cool huh?
