SDL_rand_bits(3) | SDL3 FUNCTIONS | SDL_rand_bits(3) |
NAME¶
SDL_rand_bits - Generate 32 pseudo-random bits.
HEADER FILE¶
Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h
SYNOPSIS¶
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
Uint32 SDL_rand_bits(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
You likely want to use SDL_rand () to get a psuedo-random number instead.
There are no guarantees as to the quality of the random sequence produced, and this should not be used for security (cryptography, passwords) or where money is on the line (loot-boxes, casinos). There are many random number libraries available with different characteristics and you should pick one of those to meet any serious needs.
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns a random value in the range of [0- SDL_MAX_UINT32 ].
THREAD SAFETY¶
All calls should be made from a single thread
AVAILABILITY¶
This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
