title: How good is java.util.Random?
body: <p>Two Questions:</p>
  
  <p>Will I get different sequences of numbers for every seed I put into it?</p>
  
  <p>Are there some "dead" seeds? (Ones that produce zeros or repeat very quickly.)</p>
  
  <p>By the way, which, if any, other PRNGs should I use?</p>
  
  <p>Solution: Since, I'm going to be using the PRNG to make a game, I don't need it to be cryptographically secure. I'm going with the Mersenne Twister, both for it's speed and huge period.</p>
