love.math.getRandomState

Available since LÖVE 0.9.1
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Gets the current state of the random number generator. This returns an opaque implementation-dependent string which is only useful for later use with love.math.setRandomState or RandomGenerator:setState.

This is different from love.math.getRandomSeed in that getRandomState gets the random number generator's current state, whereas getRandomSeed gets the previously set seed number.

Synopsis

state = love.math.getRandomState( )

Notes

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